Why Choose Terracotta Roof Tiles?

Terracotta roof tiles are a timeless choice, popular for millennia all around the world. They are a stylish and high-quality choice for all kinds of homes. Known for their durability, fire resistance as well as thermal and acoustic performance, there are many reasons why you should choose terracotta roof tiles for your home.


Terracotta Tiles Provide an Aesthetic Appeal


Terracotta roof tiles really do have a unique aesthetic appeal. There are a wide variety of styles, colours and shapes of terracotta roof tiles which means you can find a look that is perfect for your home. It's also a versatile choice so ideal for unusual roof shapes.

Terracotta Provides Multiple Benefits


It is also essential that you consider the practical benefits of choosing terracotta roof tiles when looking at roofing options for your home. Thermal performance is an important consideration, and terracotta continues to perform well, due to its dense structure which retains heat well.


Having a well-constructed terracotta roof can help to keep heat in your home, reducing your energy bills and your carbon footprint, you can also insulate underneath it for extra efficiency. Another area where terracotta roof tiles perform well is acoustics - they have a sound reduction potential of 30 decibels. Terracotta roof tiles can reduce the noise of heavy rain, traffic, aircraft and more.


Terracotta Tiles are Long Lasting


Safety is perhaps the most important consideration when it comes to choosing what roof is right for your home. Terracotta is a good choice especially in bushfire prone areas as they are fire resistant and non-combustible.


They are also a long-lasting roofing choice because the roof tiles are fired at such a high temperature, they become impervious to UV light, frost resistant and salt safe which is great for coastal properties too. Terracotta tiles are made of natural clay, they are non-toxic and they can protect your home from pollutants and harmful chemicals.


Terracotta Roofs Require Low Maintenance


You might also be pleased to know that terracotta roofs are incredibly low maintenance, and they will often last the entire life of the property. They are an affordable choice, and because they last so long, you don't have to think about the cost of replacing or fixing a broken roof in the future.


Terracotta tiles look amazing on nearly every type of home and they continue to provide high performance in everything from fire-resistance to acoustic retention to rainwater and tank safety benefits.

Terracotta Roof Tile FAQs


Do you collect terracotta roof tiles?

Yes, We have a team who can come and pick them up. We can also arrange a skip bin for broken tiles.

What is terracotta?

Terracotta is a natural material that has been utilised for thousands of years for tiling roofs and is known for its decorative architecture. The name terracotta is from an Italian phrase that translates to "baked earth" in English, and this ancient material has been used for sculpture and artistic works since approximately 26,000 BCE.
 
Terracotta roofing tiles become an architectural trend in approximately 10,000 BCE, when Ancient Chinese civilisations began to compact the resource into tiles to protect their homes from the temperatures outside. Several thousand years later, the tiles started being used in Mediterranean and South-East Asian architecture, and this amassed a cultural trend that expanded internationally to Western countries during the mid-18th century.

I thought terracotta tiles were expensive. Do you offer affordable options for those on a budget?

Terracotta tiles are fade-proof and require less effort to preserve their integrity than other roofing materials. Although the popular material can quickly become an expensive financial investment, our method of upcycling and restoring second-hand tiles significantly lowers the price, making terracotta an affordable option for your home. By purchasing tiles from us, you can have confidence and peace of mind knowing that you are contributing to a more environmentally friendly way of living.
