Tiled roofs are easily entered by burglars by just lifting off a few tiles and getting into your roof. Colorbond should slow them down some. I went with colorbond Jasper with a good knauff blanket and insulation in the roof. It's cool and quiet. I would never go tiles again. Just my 2c. Natural stone tiles like slate, travertine, and limestone add a timeless, elegant look to… 0 26078 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 10319 You should pressure clean your roof first and make sure the paint you buy also is anti mould. 4 19197 |
