Sydney Roof Tiles - Materials

Terracotta is Italian for 'baked earth' and these clay roof tiles have been used as a roof covering since the days of the Roman empire. This architecturally original and truly aesthetic roof finish has clearly stood the test of time and remains a popular choice as roof tiles. With proper planning and design, quality materials, and professional installation, roof tiles can last 70 to 100 years or more. 

With a timeless style and practical toughness, Terracotta remains the material of choice for most new Australian suburban homes. The prestige, durability and practicality of having Terracotta roof tiles can increase the resale value of your home. There's a colour and profile to perfectly complement the design, tone and character of your house. You can also choose from modern blends and finishes including matt, semi-glazed and glazed. Talk to Southern Cross Roofing about the options available in Terracotta roofing.

Concrete Tiles. The first concrete roof tiles were produced in Germany in 1844 in only one colour. Technology has advanced quite a bit since then and modern concrete roof tiles are stylish, strong, exact in size, and long lasting. Concrete roof tiles come in a range of profiles all with high quality colour coatings. Designed to withstand the worst of nature; howling winds, fierce heat and salt spray, concrete roof tiles are extremely durable, and require almost no maintenance. 

Having concrete roof tiles gives you versatility, being able to meet the design demands of almost any shape or contoured roof. Not only can these roof tiles be subtle or as dramatic as your design, they are also an economical way to finish a house. Talk to Southern Cross Roofing for more advice on how affordable and tough modern concrete roof tiles can be.

Slate. The refined low-profile appearance and excellent durability of Slate makes it a smart choice as a roofing material. True Slate has a natural beauty that has stood the test of centuries. Slate installation is one of the most impressive hands on production procedures in the entire roofing industry. Traditionally, only a master craftsman with many years of experience and a keen eye, used a hammer and chisel to split the Slate to form a shingle. Many hundreds of these pieces were required. 

Southern Cross Roofing have the skills and resources to assist in the installation of any Slate or Shingle roofing system - traditional or modern. Add to the value and character of your home with a new or recycled Slate roof from the experts.
