|| Tiled Roofing:

Concrete and Terracotta ||

Charles Roofing specialises in both concrete and terracotta tiling for roofs. Concrete tiles are a less expensive and commonly used alternative to terracotta tiles. They form the majority of works required in the cooler climate areas, such as in ACT, as they tend to be less complex to work with. Made from a mixture of sand, cement and water, concrete tiles can either be painted or have colour mixed through before they are cast into their tile shape for a longer lasting finish.

Terracotta tiles are available either unglazed in their red-orange colour or glazed to provide different finishes and colours. Terracotta tiles are installed by placing overlapping and interlocking rows of tiles on the roof, and are generally available in a range of styles to suit both modern and more traditionally designed homes. Terracotta is very hardy and has been known to last hundreds of years if well maintained. Terracotta is also waterproof and fire resistant, offering good protection from the elements of our harsh Australian climate.
