TERRACOTTA TILED ROOF RESTORATION OR REPLACEMENT

A little know fact is that Terracotta roofs can not be painted or coated. The official advice from the best roof coating manufacturer in Australia, being Dulux is that no warranty of any kind will apply to a coated or painted Terracotta roof. For this reason the colour of appearance of a Terracotta roof cant be changed. The only form of restoration possible for a Terracotta tiled roof in high pressure cleaning to remove all the moss and lichen from the tile face and re-pointing of all the cap tiles. Of course we still don’t recommend any client invest it Terracotta tiled roof restoration if the roof is older or has started fretting and crumbling.

TERRACOTTA ROOF TILES CRACKED CRUMBLING OR FRETTING

While Terracotta has been used with great success as a roofing material in Europe for hundreds of years, its success in Australia and especially Adelaide is a different storey. A typical Terracotta tiled roof in Adelaide tends to start fretting and crumbling away at some point in time usually when the roof is somewhere between 30 and 60 years old. These symptoms appear earlier and the tiles degrade faster in salty and humid air nearer to the ocean. In many cases we have found significant fretting on a Terracotta tiled roof as young as 30 years when located less than a few kilometres to the ocean.
