Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 24, 2019 8:11 am The builder has given me a choice for an upgraded roof: Monier Atura profile roof tiles with heavy-duty sarking / Colorbond Metal Roof 55mm lightweight anticon building blanket. ($2,600.00) Cant decide. Please tell me what to choose ? I don't want sudden termprature changes in my home. Are both the roofs good and have enough insulation ? Re: Monier Atura profile roof tiles or Colorbond Metal Roof 2Dec 24, 2019 9:17 am To be honest if I never have another roof tile again it will be too soon, especially those low profile concrete tiles. Our last home had them and I was forever fixing leaking cracked tiles and repairing water damaged plaster ceiling. People will no doubt chime in and say that steel roof is noisy in the rain (what rain??) but this isnt a problem if you use anticon and the inability to retain heat is also a plus. We are going for a surfmist colourbond so that heat is reflected and fading isnt an issue. The extra work in the framing to handle the weight must also come into consideration. Just my thoughts on DAM TILED ROOFS!!!

Our house was completed 8 years ago. Builder did not leave any spare roof tiles behind. Just found out that one tile is cracked. Wanted to replace the tile but most… 0 2784 Your house roof does not show rusting other than some surface rust on the flashings. In my opinion you dont need to replace or paint the roof other than treat surface rust… 1 10228 You should pressure clean your roof first and make sure the paint you buy also is anti mould. 4 18580 |
