Roof's again!!! tiles?

Page 1 of 1
We have just signed our prelim contact!
and need to decide by the morning if we want colourbond or tiles!! we like the look of tiles so we are nearly there, except we have to pay more for bristle tiles. ive heard concrete are crap?? We want black shinny tiles that dont fade! but they will attract the hot WA heat! then i read a suggestion on whirly birds. Anyway, if i do go tiles, what do you recomend?? any comments. I wish id read the fine print and decided earlier. also decided on part front render but not 100% on that due to maintenace! oh well.
such is life. what are we getting ourselves in to! oh we have also decided on steel roof beams at $1000 extra, again i dont have a clue and should of done my research. we are building the peagasus by new generation homes in southern river, ok thanks
sorry about bad spelling!

By the way….every dark colour on a roof will eventually fade, so best you give that some though.


And don’t worry about the bad spelling, I didn’t even notice!!!!!!!!
