Tiles are best suited for the New Zealand conditions

Our harsh weather and extreme climate changes can be tough on roofing materials. Unlike metal, concrete tiles don’t rust or corrode and terracotta tiles won’t fade over time.

Colour lasts longer on tiles

Unlike metal roofs, the colour in Monier’s terracotta clay tiles lasts forever, thanks to its manufacturing process, in which the colour is baked in at extremely high heats so the colour never fades.

Additionally, Monier’s standard concrete tiles offer CAT Colour, a water-based coating that promotes enduring colour and quality, helping to retain the look, beauty and re-sale value of your home.

Tiles are resilient and concrete tiles get stronger with age

Contrary to popular belief, tiles should not break if you walk on them in the correct place. Research has also shown that concrete tiles actually get stronger with age. In the unlikely case of a broken tile, you only need to replace the individual tile versus a whole sheet of damaged metal.

Tiles are resistant to high winds

Concrete tiles unique interlocking design and installation process makes them suitable for use in very high wind zones. Concrete tiles do not create the same hazard as long run roofing which in certain circumstances can lift the roof off.[5]
