HomeChoosing UPVC Roof Tiles for Your Farm: A Guide to Better Animal Housing
Aug 28,2025
Shenyu
Choosing the right roofing material is one of the most critical decisions in constructing or renovating a livestock farm. The environment within breeding facilities is highly corrosive due to moisture, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and frequent disinfecting operations. In such demanding conditions, which type of roofing tile performs best? While many farmers seek low-cost solutions that promote animal health and reduce long-term expenses, not all roofing materials meet these dual needs. So, what is the ideal choice?
Common But Problematic Roofing Options
Small-scale farms have traditionally used asbestos tiles due to their low initial cost. However, asbestos poses severe health risks; its fibers, when inhaled, can cause serious respiratory illnesses in both animals and humans, and it has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen. Moreover, these tiles break easily and require frequent replacement, increasing long-term costs and operational disruptions.
Another widely used option is color steel tiles. While they are lightweight and easy to install, they come with significant drawbacks:
Another widely used option is color steel tiles. While they are lightweight and easy to install, they come with significant drawbacks:
- They produce loud noise during rain or hail, stressing animals and affecting growth and productivity.
- They provide poor thermal insulation, leading to excessively high temperatures in summer and cold in winter, increasing the need for energy-consuming temperature control systems.
- They are prone to corrosion in humid, chemically exposed environments, resulting in a short service life and recurring maintenance costs.
Why UPVC Roof Tiles Are the Ideal Solution for Modern Farms
At SY/Uniko ROOF, we recommend UPVC roof tiles (also known as corrugated PVC roof sheets or UPVC roof panels) as the optimal roofing solution for livestock farming. These tiles are specifically engineered to withstand harsh conditions while providing a safe, comfortable environment for animals.
Key Advantages of UPVC Roofing in Farming:
- Superior Corrosion Resistance
Unlike metal sheets, UPVC multilayer roofing sheets do not rust or corrode, even when exposed to moisture, ammonia, or disinfectants. This ensures a long service life with minimal maintenance. - Excellent Thermal Insulation
UPVC materials naturally resist heat transfer, helping to maintain stable indoor temperatures. This reduces the energy costs associated with heating and cooling, creating a comfortable environment that supports animal health and growth. - Noise Reduction
Corrugated UPVC roof sheets significantly absorb sound from rain, wind, or hail, preventing stress in livestock caused by sudden loud noises. A quieter environment contributes to better growth rates and overall productivity. - Easy to Clean and Disinfect
The smooth, non-porous surface of UPVC heat resistant roofing allows for easy washing and disinfection. This helps maintain hygiene and reduces the risk of disease outbreaks. - Durability and Safety
SY/Uniko ROOF’s tiles are fire-resistant, impact-resistant, and designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. They are also lightweight, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for heavy supporting structures. - Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective
Made from recyclable materials and requiring no periodic painting or treatments, ASA synthetic resin roof tile products from SY/Uniko ROOF offer a sustainable, low-maintenance roofing solution that reduces the total cost of ownership.
