The perfect roof for your home should be functional and stable. It should be decorative and pleasing to the eye, creating the perfect frame for the rest of your home. Each to their own, some prefer tiles, some prefer colorbond. It is worth careful consideration to make a choice that will suit your home and your budget.

First and foremost to their credit, tiles are incredibly durable and long-lasting. They’ll withstand the Australian climate better than most things. They also have a very long life expectancy. Tiles require maintenance every 10-15 years (restorations) to put protective layers on tiles (paint, sealers) and pointing to seal and bond ridge capping to tiles.

Colorbond roof does not require any maintenance… not for 20 years or so if you decide to change colour. It is aesthetically appealing as it comes in a multitude of colours and is environmentally friendly.

So there is much to consider, including budget, functionality, longevity, style considerations, and location. So it’s essential to carefully compare the two most popular roofing options in Australia before making a final decision.
