Common Issues For Tile Roofing
Concrete tile roofs are known for their durability, but over time they can face several common problems, especially in Whanganui’s variable weather:
Cracked or Broken Tiles
Heavy impact from hail, falling branches, or foot traffic can cause tiles to crack or break, compromising the roof’s protection.Moss and Algae Growth
Damp conditions encourage moss and algae, which can trap moisture and lead to tile deterioration or slipping.Loose or Displaced Tiles
Strong winds or improper installation can cause tiles to shift or become loose, increasing the risk of leaks.Efflorescence (White Staining)
Mineral deposits sometimes appear on tiles, affecting appearance but usually not structural integrity.Wear on Mortar and Flashings
Mortar securing ridge caps and flashings can erode over time, allowing water penetration if not maintained.
How Do I Know If Tile Roof Is Perfect For My House?
Choosing a tile roof depends on your home’s style, structure, and location. Tile roofs are ideal for houses with strong framing because tiles are heavier than other materials. They work well in Whanganui’s climate, offering excellent durability against wind, rain, and UV exposure. Tiles also add classic appeal and can boost property value. If you want a long-lasting, low-maintenance roof with great insulation, concrete tiles might be perfect. Consulting a local roofing expert can help assess if your house can support tile roofing and recommend the best options for your needs.
How Do I Choose The Right Roof For My Property?
Not all roof tiles are created equal—selecting the right type is essential for durability, style, and performance. Concrete tiles are popular for their strength and weather resistance, while clay tiles offer timeless beauty and natural insulation. Consider factors like weight, colour options, and maintenance needs to match your home’s design and local climate. Proper installation by experienced professionals ensures your tile roof withstands Whanganui’s rain, wind, and sun for decades. Choosing the right tile can also improve energy efficiency and increase your property’s value.
