Concrete Roof Tiles

Common Questions 

Buying roofing materials can be daunting, especially when ordering them online. With over 40 years of experience in roofing, however, we get asked lots of questions about our growing range of concrete roof tiles. Here are some of the most common questions with answers for each!

How Much Do Concrete Roof Tiles Weigh?

These roof tiles can weigh as much as 75kg per square meter. However, this is dependent upon the specific tile and headlap required. Simply refer to the technical data on each of our concrete roof tiles to calculate the number of tiles and weight per square meter. 

Which Brand is Best - Redland, Marley or Sandtoft? 

Redland, Marley and Sadtoft are all highly regarded manufacturers. Whilst their profiles and colouring can differ slightly, all of their concrete roof tiles are regarded as the highest quality available today. If you are replacing a handful of damaged tiles, try to stick with the same brand. This is as the colours may differ for each manufacturer. 

What is the Coverage of Concrete Roof Tiles? 

The amount of coverage provided by these roof tiles is dependent upon your pitch. This is as you will need to alter your headlap accordingly, which ultimately reduces the amount of coverage provided by each tile. Simply refer to the technical data on each of our concrete roof tiles to confirm the cover length and width. 

Will My Roof Tiles Be Damaged in Transport? 

Whilst metal or plastic roof tiles don't typically withstand damage during transportation, concrete roof tiles may. We always recommend that you order slightly more tiles than you require. In some circumstances, as many as 10% of your roof tiles could chip or crack during delivery.
