A product manufactured by the Swiss company SolTech Energy can surprise even the most demanding architect. Glass tiles will be a wonderful decoration for your home, but there is also real benefit from using them.
This material can accumulate solar energy, due to which the roof surface remains warm even at night. This means that snow does not accumulate on it. Whether this solution is suitable for northern regions is a moot point. But in countries with a moderate climate, glass tiles show themselves to be the best. In terms of strength, glass tiles are not inferior to ceramic tiles. And they combine well with them, since they match in size, thickness and shape
When laying, a sheet of black nylon is placed under the tiles. When the sun heats the glass surface, the air underneath it also heats up. And this energy can be used not only to heat the roof, but also for other needs. So, if you lay pipes under the roof and run water through them, the system will become an additional source of heat for the attic.
