Why ROOF TILES?It’s easy to see why you should choose roof tiles for unsurpassed style, versatility and performance.

DURABILITY & STRENGTH

Boral roof tiles are manufactured to withstand harsh climatic conditions and marine environments. All Boral roof tiles are salt-safe and frost resistant, making them suitable for any location, including coastal areas.

DESIGN FLEXIBILITY

The extensive range of profiles and colours mean enhanced flexibility in roof design to complement a wide range of architectural styles and specifications.

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE

The density of roof tiles helps reduce external sound.

THERMAL INSULATION

Thermal lag in roof tiles can help you enjoy more comfortable living in summer and winter. Sarking, tile colour and overall solar design also contributes to improved thermal insulation.

FIRE RESISTANCE

Boral roof tiles are non-combustible. Boral roof tiles when used in conjunction with sarking (sarking to be rated LOW and cover the whole roof) provides a compliant roof system under the following BAL categories. (BAL = Bushfire Attack Level). BAL - LOW, BAL - 12.5, BAL - 19 BAL - 29 and BAL - 40.

RAINWATER & TANK SAFETY

The surface of a roof tile is non-toxic and therefore suitable in collecting water. AS 2049 Roof tiles require the surface treatment of all roof tiles to be free of any elements or chemicals in concentrations known to be hazardous to health.

LOW MAINTENANCE

Once roof tiles are installed there is little or no maintenance. Should a section of the roof ever be damaged, there is the added advantage of individual tile replacement over large steel sheets.

LONG LASTING

With a 50-year performance guarantee, Boral roof tiles are built to last. The Australian experience indicates that the performance of Boral roof tiles will continue for periods in excess of this.

Living energy-wise

Energy efficient roof systems

TIP Sarking should always be used in low pitched roofs to protect against wind-blown spray and condensation, and is mandatory in bush fire zones and high wind areas

Awareness of the impact of our energy and water consumption on the environment has today reached new heights.

ORIENTATION

Site orientation or the position of a building relative to the sun provides the opportunity to take advantage of the naturally available energy. With northerly living areas the use of extended eaves will block the higher summer sun while allowing the low winter sun to enter your home.

Consideration should be given to the following factors to enhance the thermal performance of tiled roofs.

THERMAL MASS

Materials with high thermal mass, or ability to absorb and store heat energy, are important in most Australian climates where there is a need to average out temperature extremes. The density of clay and concrete effectively delays the flow of heat producing a warmer house in winter and a cooler house in summer.

COLOUR

Home builders are increasingly recognising the opportunity to improve energy efficiency simply by selecting a lighter colour for the exposed roof surface. Although the research is continuing, so far it has shown that light coloured roof tiles can lower the air temperature in the roof space by up to 9 degrees compared to dark tiles.* To find out the Boral tile BASIX colour ratings, go online or call us on 1300 363 072.

VENTILATION

Cross-ventilation, with openings on both sides of a home, allows breezes to circulate for a cooler home. This is of high importance in the roof space, so radiant heat building up from the hot summer sun can escape. Ideally, vents should be installed in the roof to help regulate air flow all year round.

SARKING

Insulating walls and ceilings is one of the best ways to efficiently regulate temperature. Now recognised as of equal importance is the reflective foil insulation, called sarking, which sits between the rafters and roof tile battens.

Sarking is a type of foil used as insulation and can reflect radiant heat from your roof space on a hot summer day. This dramatically reduces the temperature in the roof on hot days, and in winter it works in the reverse by reducing heat loss through the roof.

In the wet, the waterproof benefits of sarking cannot be underestimated and it provides an extra level of security against unpredictable storms. We recommend its use for all tiled roofs to maximise the energy efficiency of your home and to ensure your roof remains watertight.

RAINWATER

In terms of collecting tank water, a roof’s span will clearly affect the volume of rain collected, so ensure a guttering and downpipe system of adequate size. Tiled roofs of greater pitch will more efficiently deliver rainwater to this system, particularly if the profile is shaped.

So too has the many ways our homes can more efficiently manage these resources.

Legislative change is turning this knowledge into action through minimum standards for new houses that will provide big savings in energy, and by default, energy bills.

* Cement & Concrete Association of Australia Technical Report. TR/F81. Sept. 1984.

Step 1: ProfileThe profile refers to a tile’s shape and design at its cross-section. This can be either flat or shaped, with further design variations.

A key consideration when choosing a profile is the pitch of your roof, as well as the architectural style of the house. In the wet, the steeper the roof pitch, the faster the rainwater will run off it. The channels in shaped profile tiles also act as a natural watercourse for rain.

Step 2: Colour & FinishTerracotta roof tiles are available in a variety of colours which are applied in four different finishes: full glazed (in either high gloss or matt); semi-glazed for a traditional mottled appearance; or unglazed for the look of natural clay.

As a general rule, look for colours that together are either in harmony or contrast. Look at the big picture and think about the exterior walls, the guttering and fascia finish of your home, along with doors and window frames. But keep it simple on the colour front by limiting your selections to one or two trim colours.

Choosing a Terracotta Roof Tile

Step 3: AccessoriesFinally, it’s time to accessorise your roof – and when it comes to roofing, it’s not merely a case of optional extras. Some accessories, such as sarking, have become the new essential item to enhance functional performance where others are designed for their aesthetic qualities.

Step 4: InstallationGetting a great roof is also dependent on a good installation from a qualified installer. To be sure your roof is installed to Boral specifications, we recommend our own supply and fix service, or an established independent installer from the Boral preferred installer network.

For renovations, extensions and re-roofing, just call us for a referral to a Boral preferred installer near you.
