Re: Tiled roof or Colorbond !? 3Mar 22, 2018 1:46 pm Interesting that a tile roof is an "upgrade". Here in Vic most builders have tile roof as standard and you have to pay to upgrade to colorbond.

Those might be all issues to look at when doing your research. I personally also prefer the look of Colorbond and like the sound of rain falling on it, but those two considerations are purely subjective and other people will have different opinions.

We made the same decision for the same reasons. Re: Tiled roof or Colorbond !? 7Mar 22, 2018 10:20 pm One of the reasons I was drawn to Fairhaven homes was because of the colorbond roof as standard. I love the look and sound of rain from colorbond. I would have paid to upgrade to colorbond if I had to. algernon pretty much sums it up! Fairhaven Homes - Clovelly 191 Re: Tiled roof or Colorbond !? 8Mar 23, 2018 9:15 am Same as above. I love the colorbond look and I think it is better than tiles.

Agree with this, as well as safety - we have had someone with tile roof broken into in our estate because they were able to remove a portion of the tiles and get into the roof space.

HI Choosy, thank you for your important information that even we don't know the tiled roof also got different types..... It's another lesson to us....

I forgot about that! We had friends who were broken into twice via lifting off roof tiles, and that was another factor in our decision to go Colorbond.

Tiled roof or Colorbond !? 18Mar 23, 2018 9:45 pm I love colourbond roofing. We have it on our existing house. And the house we are now building which is in my sig. Colourbond takes longer to age then the tiled roof. Looks better in the long run. And looks neater. Even when I look at the houses in my street. It really stands out. And still looks better then tilted.

Same - I love this, my parents have a tin roof and I used to love hearing the rain as a kid Re: Tiled roof or Colorbond !? 20Mar 24, 2018 12:45 am The best part of building is being able to chose what suits you and your lifestyle. I like the look of tiles and the 30db noise reduction they offer especially as your roof and glazing allow outside noise to travel into your home. I love hearing rain in my garden however not on a tin roof or the neighbours, hence why we upgraded our glazing to 6mm. Lifespan - Clay roof tiles will last over 100 years, Bristile have lifetime colour guarantee plus 50 or 100 year warranty depending on the style, are low maintance, energy efficent and recyclable. Up to 95% of break-ins are through doors and windows, if they want to break in they will smash a window or the pane of glass next to your sliding door. Should you need remedial or additional electrical work inside a double brick wall cavity it is much easier to lift a few tiles. Building a house requires research and choosing what suits you, idealy before you sign up to a builder.
Good luck with your build. No, I even have sections of narrowness where the tiles won't slide up any further.
