Why Choose Cement Roof Tiles?

When installing or replacing a roof, one of the most important decisions you have to make is which material to use for the tiles. Homeowners today have a wealth of options at their disposal including slate, clay, shingles and concrete. So, which is best?

Originally roofs were covered with tiles made from natural materials such as slate and clay. But these materials are not necessarily the best materials to use today. Most natural materials do not insulate as well as concrete and they are considerably more expensive.

That’s why most roofs today are tiled with concrete or cement roof tiles. With modern manufacturing methods, these look just as good as natural materials but offer several performance advantages. Let’s look at the many benefits concrete tiles offer.

Concrete is a Long Lasting Material

Concrete is one of the most weatherproof building materials in the world. So roofs made from concrete tiles easily outlast those made from slate, shingles and clay. If properly installed and looked after, a concrete roof should last for between 40-60 years.

This is an important consideration if your property is located in a coastal area which is exposed to strong winds and rain in winter and intense heat in summer. In fact, this is where concrete comes into its own outlasting any other material.

Cement Tiles Are Low Maintenance

Roof tiles made from cement are much tougher than those made from natural materials such as slate and clay. Concrete tiles can withstand the worst that mother nature can throw at them with little to no maintenance.

At most, they will need cleaning every few years, but only to improve their aesthetic appearance, it is not strictly necessary. So if you are looking for a low maintenance option concrete is the way to go.

Concrete Roof Tiles Are Fire Resistant

Concrete tiles also provide a higher degree of fire resistance than other roofing materials such as timber. Concrete is both non-combustible and does not emit toxic fumes when exposed to intense heat.

This makes concrete the ideal roofing material for homes built in areas prone to bushfires. While a concrete roof won’t stop a fire starting in your home, it can greatly reduce the risk of it spreading.

Cement Roof Tiles Improves Thermal Performance in Your Home

Because concrete is a poor conductor of heat, concrete roof tiles prevent the transfer of heat from the sun into your home during the summer and prevent heat from escaping during the winter.

So, while concrete itself is not a biodegradable material like timber, concrete roof tiles can help to reduce your energy bills significantly. You can also reduce the environmental impact of using concrete by selecting recycled concrete tiles in place of new ones.

Concrete Roof Tiles Provides Versatility & Diversity

There are few building materials as versatile as concrete. Concrete or cement tiles can be moulded into almost any shape and they can even be made to look like other materials such as timber.

Concrete tiles are also available in a wide range of colours, allowing you to tailor the finished look to complement your home and neighbourhood. This is not possible using traditional slate tiles and it is much more durable than paint on shingles.
