Meta description: How to choose wind resistant and leak proof roof materials in areas with frequent typhoons in the Philippines and Indonesia? SKW Stone Coated Metal Roof have passed international certification testing, providing 50 years of protection for Southeast Asian buildings.
1. Southeast Asian typhoon season: why traditional roof materials are not effective
–Data support: According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), approximately 20 typhoons hit Southeast Asia each year with wind speeds exceeding 200km/h
–Pain points of traditional materials:
-Concrete tiles: heavy and easy to fall off (typical case: 30% concrete roof collapse caused by typhoon in Java, Indonesia in 2022)
–Asphalt shingles: easy to soften under high temperature, and easy to crack at the lap joint under strong wind (Malaysian Meteorological Bureau test shows that the service life of asphalt shingles is reduced by 40% in continuous rainstorm)
2. Three core technologies for typhoon defense using Stone Coated Metal Roof
2.1 Wind resistant lifting system design
–Patent buckle structure:
-Each tile is equipped with 3 stainless steel locking buckles (passed UL 580 anti wind lifting test, with wind speed up to 160km/h and no displacement)
-Case: SKW installed metal tile community with zero damage during Typhoon Doksuri in the Philippines in 2023
2.2 Waterproof Barrier Upgrade
-Triple waterproof system:
- High zinc layer substrate (AZ150 coating, salt spray test for over 3000 hours)
- Modified asphalt rubber strip (no cracking from -40 ℃ to 80 ℃)
- Nano coating technology (Singapore BCA certification: anti UV aging rate increased by 70%)
2.3 Lightweight and Strength Balance
–Only 1/5 weight of concrete tile:
-Reduce building load-bearing capacity, suitable for the renovation of old houses in Southeast Asia (tested in Ho Chi Minh City renovation project in Vietnam: foundation reinforcement cost reduced by 60%)
-It is not easy for structural collapse to occur due to its own weight during typhoons
3. Typical case in Southeast Asia: from villas in Bali to high-rise buildings in Jakarta
Case 1: Luxury Resort in Bali, Indonesia**
-Challenge: Annual average rainfall of 1500mm+high temperature and humidity environment
–Solution:
-Select SKW Galaxy series blue metal tiles (thermal reflectivity of 75%, indoor temperature reduced by 4 ℃)
-Customized drainage channel design (passed ISO 9001 rainwater flow test)
Case 2: Manila Metropolitan Commercial Complex in the Philippines**
–Technical Parameters:
-Wind resistance level: FEM 1090 Class 10 (12 level typhoon)
-Noise reduction performance: STC 45 (indoor noise ≤ 50 dB in rainstorm)
4. Cost benefit analysis: Stone Coated Metal Roof vs traditional materials
| Indicator | Stone Coated Metal Roof (SKW) | Concrete Tile | Asphalt Tile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial cost ($/㎡) | 45-60 | 30-40 | 25-35 |
| Lifespan (years) | 50+ | 20-25 | 15-20 |
| Annual maintenance cost | $1/㎡ | $5/㎡ | $3/㎡ |
| Insurance discount (Philippines) | 20% | 5% | 8% |
5. Localized Installation Guide: Precautions for Rainy Season Construction
- Grassroots treatment:
-Malaysia region: using Corten steel keel (resistant to moisture and heat corrosion)
-Thailand region: laying breathable film (to avoid condensation water accumulation) - Construction time selection:
-Vietnam rainy season: prioritize completing welding operations before 10am
-Indonesian typhoon season: fixed with temporary windproof fixtures
6. Authoritative certification and regional cooperation
–International certification: Passed the triple standards of SIRIM (Malaysia), BPS (Indonesia), and JIS (Japan)
