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?
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.
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 Roof Tiles Improve 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.
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 Provide 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.
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.

Cement Roof Tile FAQs
How do I match broken cement roof tiles?
Always bring a broken tile in to us so we can match the correct tile.
How long do second hand concrete roof tiles last?
Second hand concrete roof tiles can last for many years. Properly made concrete roof tiles can last up to 100 years with proper care and maintenance, which means that even well-used cement roof tiles usually have many years of life left in them. We only sell high-quality second hand roof tiles that are in excellent condition and are well-suited to a new home. With proper care, our customers can get at least a few decades’ use out of our second hand cement roof tiles.
What can I use cement second hand roof tiles for?
Second hand roof tiles are most commonly used for two purposes: to retile an older roof that needs fresh tiling because the existing tiles are worn or damaged, or to replace portions of the roof or tiles from an existing roof. If you’re retiling your roof, you can choose any second hand tiles that you like provided we have the quantity that you need. If you’re simply replacing existing tiles, we can help you match the tiles that you need to replace to tiles in our warehouse. Just bring in a sample tile and we’ll do the rest.
Can I cover my whole roof in concrete second hand tiles?
Depending on the size of your roof and the type of tiles you want, yes. We stock a large variety of second hand roof tiles but because they’re second hand, we can’t necessarily source more tiles of the same type for you. However, we do stock large volumes of common second hand roof tiles which means it’s very possible to use second hand roof tiles to tile your entire roof even if you have a large family home.
What size cement tiles should I use?
Standard concrete roof tiles are 420 x 330mm and 267 x 168mm, but different tile manufacturers may produce tiles in different sizes. The key consideration, if you’re only retiling part of your roof, is what size your other roof tiles are.
Can I paint old concrete roof tiles?
Yes! Lots of people choose to paint second hand roof tiles to freshen up the look of their roof and breathe new life into older tiles. It’s possible to paint roof tiles using water-resistant outdoor paint that lasts for years without ageing or weathering. Painting roof tiles is an effective and affordable way to change the colour or look of your roof without having to retile it.
What issues should I look out for in concrete roof tiles?
We only stock concrete roof tiles that are in good condition and free from signs of damage. However, if you want to assess other concrete roof tiles – or your own roof tiles – for signs of wear, look out for cracks, loss of colour, chips, and moss. You might also spot efflorescence, which is a white deposit of calcium carbonate that can appear specifically on concrete roof tiles. Efflorescence is actually less likely to appear later on second hand tiles than on new tiles.
