- What type of slate/tile should I choose?
The type of roof coverings available to you may
be restricted to your site and the roof design, but we will happily propose a
number of alternatives for you to consider, one of which may simply be to
repair the current roof you have.
- Do concrete tiles fade?
Yes, the color of your concrete tiles will fade and
weather over time. This coating is purely decorative, and plays no role in any
protective or waterproofing function. Over several years, the color coating of
your tiles may take on a more subdued, matt appearance because of the effects
of air pollution and powerful UV rays from the sun. This change in appearance
has no effect on the tiles performance or its structural adequacy.
- Do concrete roof tiles become porous as they age?
Concrete roof tiles like all concrete products
become stronger and less porous over time, provided they were manufactured to
the appropriate Standard.
- Does lichen growth affect the durability of roof tiles?
In some climates, moss and lichen can grow on your
tiles. They will not affect your tiles in any way, and can add character to
your roof. However, if you prefer the clean lines of your tiles, both moss and
lichen can be easily removed with high pressure water jet cleaning or by using
other commercially available cleaning products. (Always consider the
environment when using chemical products)
- What are the white marks on my roof? How can they be removed?
Occasionally, the natural salts within a concrete
tile can migrate to the surface as a whitish grey discoloration called
efflorescence or 'bloom'. This has no effect on the performance of the tile.
Although common to many concrete products, efflorescence does not always occur
and should disappear naturally over time.
- Do tiled roofs require ongoing maintenance?
There is no such thing as no maintenance when it
comes to roofs. Although your roof tiles are structurally guaranteed to perform
their function for 50 years, there are still some things to look out for when
it comes to caring for and maintaining your roof.
The number one maintenance issue is cleaning the
gutters, downpipes and valleys of your roof. Gutters, downpipes and valleys can
become easily built up with debris such as leaves and twigs from trees.
When gutters, downpipes and valleys become blocked,
you get a buildup of water that overflows back into your roof, which can create
an enormous amount of water damage. This kind of buildup also represents a
potential fire hazard, as dry leaves and twigs are extremely combustible. This
is easily preventable by a regular check to make sure your gutters, downpipes
and valleys are free of debris. You should try to check and clean your roof at
least once a year, twice if you live in a particularly tree lined area.
By regularly maintaining your roof you will go a
long way to preventing any major problems occurring.
