Why new materials are difficult to break through their way? Than the tile is better than the slate? What arguments can help the stubborn?
For many, who planned the serious restructuring of their house, it all started with the fact that one fine day a wet spot on the ceiling was discovered. After a brief inspection, it became clear that the roof flowed. Therefore, it must be changed. And since the yard is twenty-first century, you need to change to something more modern than slate and roofing material.
And some changed their attitude to roofing materials after they heard a phrase such as «they sell high -quality tiles». Well, not immediately of course. Perhaps the interlocutor had to convince for some time, give various arguments, refer to some authoritative personalities.
Although, strictly speaking, it is difficult to find an alternative to the tile. Of course, if we talk not about antiquity, but about modern tiles. It is mounted easily, it costs a long time, strong, stable against corrosion and the effects of pests of various kinds. And with all this is not so expensive. Comparatively, of course. It is because of these reasons that this material is increasingly widespread.
Although, of course, do not forget about psychology. Indeed, for many today, the proverb “the old horse of the furrow will not spoil” is a guide to action. And the desire to save only strengthens it. Well this is what a killer mixture — familiar materials at a lower price than new, still unusual, and besides, more expensive.
So sometimes you have to spend a lot of time to convince potential customers that modern tiles is no worse than the same slate. That it, that is, the tile will not break if someone sheet of this material drops from the second floor, or someone will accidentally come to it! That the tile is not afraid of even a large hail.
Someone can be convinced, someone still remains with their opinion. One owner was offered to even cover the roof for free, and come after the money after the first rain, it seems like after the test. You know what he said? “And if I are flooded with this rain under your roof?»… What is called, I really want to say something, but the vocabulary runs out simply on the move.
On the other hand, why be surprised? Everything new with difficulty breaking his way. In principle, once the slate was a novelty. So we will wait for gradual changes in thinking.
