HomeA Practical Guide to Choosing the Best UPVC Roofing Tile for Your Agricultural Buildings
Dec 16,2025
Shenyu
As an agricultural operator, you undoubtedly understand the critical importance of roofing for farm structures. It not only determines the lifespan of buildings but also directly impacts livestock health, the quality of agricultural products, and daily operational efficiency. With China’s rapid agricultural development today, selecting suitable UPVC roofing tiles has become particularly crucial. As China’s leading UPVC roofing sheet manufacturer, SY/Uniko ROOF presents this comprehensive purchasing guide based on years of industry experience.
Core Requirements Analysis for Agricultural Building Roofing
When selecting best roofing materials for farms, several key factors must be comprehensively considered:
First and foremost, weather resistance is paramount. China’s vast territory features significant regional climate differences. Northern regions require cold and snow-resistant materials, southern areas need high-temperature and UV-resistant products, while coastal zones demand superior wind and corrosion resistance. Secondly, service life and maintenance costs directly affect long-term investments. Quality roofing materials should last over 30 years with minimal maintenance. Furthermore, thermal insulation cannot be overlooked. Effective insulation reduces energy consumption and creates comfortable environments for livestock. Additionally, corrosion resistance is especially critical for livestock buildings, particularly against ammonia erosion. Finally, economic feasibility is important, requiring consideration of both initial investment and long-term operational costs.

Detailed Professional Solutions from SY/Uniko ROOF
Addressing the special needs of agricultural buildings, SY/Uniko ROOF has developed three specialized roofing products with distinct features:
This product is precision-engineered using imported ASA resin materials, offering exceptional weather resistance. Its specially treated surface effectively resists UV radiation, maintaining color for 10 years and lifespan for 30 years. The ASA material provides outstanding impact resistance, withstanding harsh weather conditions like hailstorms. With a B1-grade fire rating, it far exceeds ordinary plastic products. Designed with traditional tile aesthetics, it combines visual appeal with practical durability. Particularly suitable for high-end livestock buildings, stables, and other quality-demanding applications.
The standout feature is lightweight yet high-strength construction, weighing just one-third of traditional metal roofing, significantly reducing installation difficulty and structural load. The 100% waterproof design eliminates leakage concerns. UPVC material offers excellent corrosion resistance, especially suitable for humid southern regions. With exceptional cost-performance, it’s ideal for budget-conscious projects. Widely used in large warehouses, standard livestock buildings, and similar applications.
3. PVC Twinwall Hollow Roof Sheets
This innovative product features a unique double-layer hollow construction, with the air gap effectively blocking heat transfer to achieve over 30% better energy efficiency than solid panels. The special structural design also delivers remarkable noise reduction — 70% quieter than metal roofing. Excellent compressive strength withstands heavy snow loads in northern regions. Particularly suitable for temperature-controlled livestock buildings, poultry houses, and similar environments.
Comparative Advantages Over Traditional Materials
Compared to conventional roofing materials, SY/Uniko ROOF products offer significant advantages:
Versus metal roofing: Our products completely solve ammonia corrosion issues, eliminating the need for periodic anti-corrosion treatment. Noticeably better noise reduction eliminates rainy season disturbances. Superior summer heat insulation effectively lowers indoor temperatures. Lighter weight enables easier installation, saving construction costs.
Compared to asphalt shingles, 2–3 times longer service life greatly reduces replacement frequency. Nearly maintenance-free for time and labor savings. Vastly improved weather resistance adapts to harsher climates.
Versus wood roofing: Complete fire safety assurance dramatically improves security. Total immunity to insect damage ensures truly zero maintenance. Longer lifespan delivers better long-term economic returns.

FAQs: Top Questions from Wholesalers & Contractors
Q1: Do your ASA synthetic resin tiles really last 30 years?
A1: Yes. Our ASA tiles are manufactured using imported engineering-grade resins and have undergone QUV accelerated aging tests (equivalent to 10 years of outdoor exposure), ensuring color stability (ΔE<5) for 10 years. Real-world cases show tiles installed 8 years ago at a ranch in Henan still perform excellently. We offer a 10-year product warranty, supporting our 30-year service life commitment.
Q2: Which material is best for agricultural buildings in high-salt-spray coastal areas?
A2: UPVC corrugated sheets are the optimal choice. This material has inherent resistance to salt spray corrosion and has performed exceptionally well in applications at coastal aquaculture farms and farms in Qingdao, Ningbo, and similar areas. Unlike metal roofs, it will not rust due to salt corrosion, making it particularly suitable for marine aquaculture facilities and coastal farm buildings.
Q3: How effective is the thermal insulation of PVC hollow sheets?
A3: Our PVC hollow sheets feature a unique double-layer structure where the middle air gap effectively blocks heat transfer. Actual test data shows they can reduce indoor temperatures by 6-8°C compared to metal roofs during summer. For poultry houses and seedling greenhouses requiring temperature control, this translates to approximately 30% savings in air conditioning energy consumption.
Q4: Does installation require professional personnel?
A4: Installation is relatively straightforward. For teams experienced with metal roof installation, we provide concise installation guides and video tutorials. Key points include using dedicated fasteners and allowing proper thermal expansion gaps. We can also offer on-site technical guidance for large projects.
Q5: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and delivery time?
A5: The standard product MOQ is one 20-foot container (approximately 5,000 square meters). The typical production lead time from order confirmation to shipment is 15-20 working days. We offer 8 standard color options and also support custom color services.
Q6: How do your product prices compare to color steel sheets?
A6: While the initial investment is slightly higher than for color steel sheets, the overall cost is lower. Taking UPVC corrugated sheets as an example, their maintenance-free nature can save about 85% in annual maintenance costs, and their 30+ year service life is more than double that of color steel sheets, making them more cost-effective in the long run.
Q7: Do you have solutions suitable for large warehouse buildings?
A7: For large storage buildings like grain silos and feed warehouses, we recommend UPVC corrugated sheets. This material is lightweight, reducing the load on the building structure; its 100% waterproof design ensures stored goods remain safe; and its large-span design is suitable for wide building spaces.
Q8: How do you ensure consistent product quality?
A8: We implement comprehensive quality control from raw materials to finished products. All raw materials come from certified suppliers, production utilizes automated equipment to ensure precision, and every batch undergoes rigorous performance testing. We can also provide third-party test reports and real-world case references.
Q9: Are there practical application cases for agricultural projects?
A9: Yes. We have over 200 agricultural building cases nationwide, covering everything from livestock farms in cold northern regions to greenhouses in hot, humid southern areas. Typical examples include dairy farms in Heilongjiang and poultry farms in Guangdong, which have been operating stably for over 5 years.
Q10: What support can we, as distributors, receive?
A10: We provide comprehensive support for distributors, including product samples, technical documentation, installation guide videos, and marketing materials. For new distributors, we also offer product knowledge training, sales skill guidance, and regular updates on market information and technical support.
