Concrete Tiles – Stronger with age
Concrete tiles are the most economical durable roofing material on the market. Just like concrete bridges and the structural elements of buildings, concrete tiles get stronger with age as they continue to harden being baked in the sun. Concrete tiles truly embrace the harsh elements.
Colour Performance
The benefit of Concrete tiles is its colour longevity and flexibility. Concrete roof tiles come in the widest range of colours and profiles and you have the ability to update the look of your roof with a simple re-coat. You also have a choice of Colour Technologies to retain the look, beauty and re-sale value of your home:
- CAT Colour – Monier’s standard concrete tile range has a 4x better colour performance than standard COLORBOND®
- Colour Through Technology – Colour is baked through the tile rather than a coating on top.
Pitch & Pattern
Concrete roof tiles can reach a pitch as low as 15 degrees with sarking. There is range of profiles and patterns to choose from to give it texture and distinction from the modern flat Maddison tile in SoHo Night to the classic Georgian shingle tile. There is also an option to choose lapped or A-line ridging. Lapped ridging over laps each other whereas A-line riding is seamless.
Genuinely made for Australian Conditions
Concrete tiles love the beach and marine life, they will not rust or corrode near salt water like metal roofs. Concrete is also great fire-safe option.
