| Method of Fixing | Needs more sloping to drain rain water. Surface temperature reaches to 65 to 70 deg C. Hence need more weathering course materials. |
Needs less sloping due to smooth surface. Surface temperature reaches to 40 to 45 deg C. Hence less material to maintain slope. Tile can be fixed on ¾ to 1” lime mortar. Lime act as a binder and good heat insulator. Tiles shall be fixed in near - dry conditions. Excess water below the tiles, if any, could evaporate through downward movements. |

| Cleaning with acid | Not possible | At any point of time, a simple acid wash is sufficient to make like a new terrace. Abc grout and tiles are acid resistant. | |
| During Service Life | Fungus formation, plant and vegetation growths commonly seen Unburnt tiles gets eroded and water easily enters Reduces roof span life |
No fungus No erosion is possible on glaze Increases roof span life | |

| Remark | In the present scenario of climatic conditions, Cool Roof becomes a necessity. | ||
| Cost Analysis | Generally a Cool Roof cost 10 to 15 % more. Materials used for gradient & weathering course can be greatly reduced. Increase in 15% can be compensated. | ||
| Tiles Cost per sq ft | Rs 35/ | Rs 41/ | |

Abc tile fixing system is designed with water proofing at various stages and lime mortar is suggested to get more R value. Terrace will be very safe with respect to any kind of weather because ceramic tiles are processed at 1200 deg C against white cement tiles which are not processed at high temperature.
White cement tiles appears to be strong but weaker than ceramic tiles.
