Why Buy Tilcor Roofing ?

A metal tile roof is lighter than a concrete or clay tile roof, more durable than an asphalt shingle roof, and easier to handle than long-run corrugate sheets. It is the best reliable and affordable roofing system in the market place in a range of design and styles.  In term of delivery to the job site, a metal tile roof is the most cost effective roof for transportation and provides the lowest carbon footprint of any roof on the market.
When deciding on anything that you will buy, you always ask yourself certain questions like:
  • Does it meet international standards and ISO 9001 accredited
  • Do i get a good guarantee 
  • Is it made from quality materials 
  • Does the product look good 
  • Am i dealing with professionals 
  • And most importantly is it the right price 
​
Below are the facts regarding the current stone coated roofing products on the market today and a guide to help you choose what you should and should NOT be taking into consideration when buying a stone coated roof.   
Is your roofing tile made from Zincalume and is it made from the highest quality zincalume?
Advances in technology over the last 15 to 20 years means roofing materials are now available that are stronger, lighter, more durable than ever before, people advertising that they invented stone coated roofing 60-70 years ago only shows longevity in the market, the advance in technology and materials is much more recent.
So what should i be looking for, when it comes to roofing materials

​
  1. Zincalume with the right zinc and aluminium ratios (this is what tilcor use)
  2. manufactures can advertise that they are using Zincalaume when in fact they are hardly using it at all just a little for adverting purposes
  3. Galvanised steel is still been used by manufactures today, galvanised steel for roofing has now been super seeded by zincalume, you may find some company's that advertise zincalume (or equivalent) really this means they don't use Zincaluimum and are still 20 years behind the current trend.
  4. Some roofing manufactures don't even use galvanised steel,

FACT - google it yourself?
The reality is that roofs and walls made from Zincalume steel have a far more superior performance over galvanized steel and are very cost competitive. It is very clear that Zincalume out performs galvanized steel. New Zealand Zincalume steel is also 2.5 times more durable than typical Zincalume that the majority other producers use 
Does your roofing tile have natural coloured stone chips?
Be very careful with this choice and make sure you buy roof tiles with natural coloured stone chips, inevitably some manufactures will mix small ratios of ceramic coated stones to get some of the colours this is usually OK, as long as the majority are natural coloured stone chips and this should only be the case in such colours as bright blue etc. Look at the manufactures web page, you will usually find good guarantees and details ensuring they use natural coloured stone.

What you should be looking for when looking at stone coated chips on roofing tiles?
  1. Natural Coloured Stone coated Chips, (this is what Tilcor Use)
  2. Tiles that have ALL ceramic Chips to get the colour and no natural coloured stone chips
  3. Painted stone chips (these products will start changing colour as soon as the paint wears off
  4. Sand glued onto the roofing tile and painted (again this usually starts changing colour within a few months)
