St-Denis Thompson is responsible for this China Town renovation. Montreal's winter is very cold, it is very disavantage for galzed roof tiles. Freezing climate will cause the glaze peeling off. The photo of old China Town shows this condition.

So St-Denis Thompson chose to install the glazed roof tiles without cement. Their engineers installed this golden glazed Chinese roof tiles by nails and metal alloy slice. This installation way is very complicated, but it can make the roof tiles installation very firm. And it can protect the Chinese roof tiles from glaze peeling off.

As so far, one gate has been finished the installation. It is very beautiful, isn't it?
