Types of Roof Tiles

Ceramic Roof Tiles

Ceramic tiles have been around for centuries. They’re popular for a reason: they last a long time and handle all kinds of weather. We make sure our ceramic tiles can deal with the sun, rain, and even hail. They don’t fade, and they help keep the home cool in summer and warm in winter. If you’re looking for a balance of strength and classic style, ceramic tiles are a great choice.

Terracotta Roof Tiles

There’s something timeless about the look of terracotta roof tiles. Their rich, earthy tones bring warmth and a bit of rustic charm to any home. But they’re not just pretty. If you choose our terracotta tiles, you get the same feel of natural clay but with modern, sturdy materials that are easy to maintain.

Concrete Look Roof Tiles

For modern homes that want a sleek, smooth style, our concrete look roof tiles work well. They look like real concrete, but they’re lighter and easier to handle. These concrete tiles are also budget-friendly, giving you that strong, modern finish without going overboard on cost.

Metal Finish Roof Tiles

If you want something that’s both modern and practical, consider our metal finish roof tiles. These tiles reflect the sun’s heat, which can help keep your home cooler in summer. They’re also light, so they’re easier to install, and they don’t need much care to keep looking sharp. Perfect for people who want a clean, modern look without the hassle of constant maintenance.

Available Sizes & Dimensions in Roof Tiles

The size of a tile can change how a roof looks and works. Smaller tiles can make a roof look more detailed and textured, while bigger tiles give a modern, open feel. At Simpolo Tiles & Bathware, we offer sizes for every type of home.

• Greys and Blacks: Greys and black tiles are smart choices for modern homes. These shades look clean and work well with glass, steel, or concrete finishes.
• Whites and Light Greys: These white tiles and grey tiles make a house look bigger and brighter. They’re perfect for sunny places or homes that want that minimalist look.

Roof Tile Installation Guide

Getting the right roof tiles is just the first step. Installing them properly is what really makes them last and work well.

Preparation

Before you even think about lifting a tile, make sure your roof structure can handle the weight. That means checking beams and trusses for damage or weak spots. A clean, solid surface makes for a roof that holds up to the weather and looks sharp.

Installation Process

Start at the bottom. Lay your first row along the eaves, making sure each tile overlaps the one below. This overlap stops rain from getting in. Keep an eye on the lines; they should be straight and even.

Professional Installation vs. DIY

Some people like to take the DIY route. But keep in mind that a roof is one of the most important parts of your home. A small mistake can mean big challenges later..

Professional installers have the necessary equipment, expertise, and experience to ensure your roof not only protects your home but also looks great. If you’re unsure, bringing in the pros is worth it.

Roof Tile Maintenance

Your roof is up there, doing its job every day. A bit of care now and then keeps it going strong.

• Regular Cleaning: Leaves and dirt can build up in valleys and around chimneys. A quick brush-down once or twice a year keeps everything flowing smoothly.
• Check for Damage: After big storms, take a look from the ground. Missing tiles or ones that look cracked should be replaced quickly.
• Moss and Algae: In shady areas, moss can be a problem. A gentle scrub with water or a mild cleaner can stop it from getting out of hand.
• Sealant Use: Some tiles, like our concrete roof tiles, might benefit from a sealant to help them resist water and stay looking fresh.

How to Choose the Right Roof Tile for Your Home

Choosing the perfect roof tiles isn’t just about picking a colour you like. It’s about making sure the tile fits your home, your climate, and your style.

In places with heavy rains or high humidity, tiles that resist water and mold growth, like our Basaltino Grey, are a smart pick. If you live somewhere that gets very hot, lighter colours or reflective finishes can help keep the home cooler.

Then think of the slope of your roof. Some tiles work better on steeper slopes, helping water run off easily. Others are better for gentle slopes where you want a more seamless look.

A heritage home with lots of old-world charm will look great with terracotta roof tiles like our Pozzolana Gris. If your home has sharp lines and a modern edge, you might lean towards the clean, bold look of metal roof tiles like Cast Navy.
