Create a Façade That Lasts a Lifetime with Roof Tiles

Roof tiles have always been a much-loved building product, and we’re not just talking recently. The use of roof tiles dates back many centuries and they have kept their popularity throughout the years thanks to their durability and versatility. Plus, there are so many different types of roof tiles, meaning they suit most architectural styles and climates, making them an ideal choice for your next design project. 

We wanted to know more about the extensive world of roof tiles and why they continue to be loved for their practicality and aesthetics. So, we’re sitting down with Brickworks to explore the Bristile Roofing ranges and delving into how you can create a façade that lasts a lifetime with roof tiles.

The Benefits of Roof Tiles 

The list of benefits of using roof tiles on your design projects is endless, with endurance at the forefront. After all, a roof is something you want to last a lifetime, no matter what gets thrown at it. “Your roof is an integral part of your home’s structure, offering support and protection against the rain, the wind, the snow, and the harsh sunlight,” says James Treble, Interior Designer and host of the Brickworks Tips & Tricks video series. This is why it's important to consider the material you choose and why people are opting for roof tiles. They’re durable, and stylish, and have been developed using technology for longevity, peace of mind (thanks to their low maintenance status), and, of course, a timeless aesthetic. 

Concrete Roof Tiles

Concrete roof tiles are a sophisticated, modern choice for your home. These innovative tiles work to reduce energy consumption, offer fire resistance, and provide year-round insulation. Plus, concrete roof tiles have seen a bit of an upgrade since their origin many years ago. Now there are so many different styles, designs, and colours to choose from. You might opt for something sleek and minimalist in a muted tone to suit your contemporary home. Or even something smooth and linear, in a colour inspired by the Australian landscape for a coastal-style façade.

No matter what you choose when it comes to concrete roof tiles, there’s no denying the incredible benefits they provide.

Terracotta Roof Tiles

Our love for the Mediterranean might make us biased, but terracotta roof tiles are an incredibly gorgeous choice for your next design project. However, we do recommend opting for a terracotta roof tile that has been crafted from natural materials and kiln-fired to solidify its form, like the Bristle Roofing roof tiles. This adds to both the quality and aesthetics of your roof, making it more authentic.  

Like concrete roof tiles, terracotta roof tiles are durable, fire-resistant, and are also excellent for sound insulation. Plus, when opting for a good quality terracotta roof tile, you can also rest assured that the colour won’t alter or fade, which is ideal for creating a façade that lasts a lifetime.

Even with Mediterranean-style homes and terracotta palettes currently trending within the interior design industry, terracotta roof tiles can be used on so many different architectural styles, thanks to their variety of colours and designs. Did you know that terracotta roof tiles even come in sleek black tones with sharp lines? This style would perfectly suit a minimalist contemporary home, or even as an accent feature on a Hamptons-style façade.  

Volt Solar Tile

Looking beyond roof tiles, one way of enhancing your home’s sustainability is through solar. Bristile Roofing offers Volt, an innovative solar roof tile that seamlessly blends in with your roof’s landscape while harnessing the sun’s power. This minimalist feature completely elevates the efficiency of your home, without taking away from the aesthetics of your façade. It’s a perfect example of style meets functionality. 

So, there you have it, the benefits of roof tiles that are sure to enhance your next design project.
