Roofing tiles were first introduced to the world back in early Roman and Greek times, made traditionally from clay, the original tiles were also very heavy and are thought to have\u00a0weighed around 30\u00a0kg each. Although more expensive and labour-intensive that the most commonly used thatched roofs in those times, their fire retardant and non-permeable qualities were favourable for use on important\u00a0temples and buildings.<\/p>

However, tiles have changed a little since then, with many more options for you to choose to tile your roof including stone, plastic, clay, concrete and rubber.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our non-slip rubber tiles are made from 100% recycled rubber and are available in 3 colours: Black<\/a>, Red<\/a> and Green<\/a>. As well as being used on flat roods, our tiles can be used for so many applications including but not limited to balconies, terraces and even patios. Along with their\u00a0Interlocking design, our tiles can be secured to the floor by using rubber adhesive to stick them to a waterproof\u00a0substrate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There are a large number of advantages that our roof tiles carry which will be present and applicable to almost every project they are involved in:<\/p>

\u2022 Each tile is weather and UV resistant<\/p>

\u2022 You gain the dual benefit of insulating and heat reflecting properties,<\/p>

\u2022 The tiles are made from 100% recycled items and are recyclable at the end of their lives,<\/p>

\u2022 As they are rubber, the tiles are anti-slip,<\/p>

\u2022 Increased noise reduction thanks to the tiles thickness,<\/p>

\u2022 There will be no chance of freeze thaw which can occur to harder materials,<\/p>

\u2022 Should it fall from a roof, it can withstand the shock of a fall from height and will prevent damage to the surface below.<\/p>

\u2022 Although the tiles are not permeable, channels are created between\u00a0the installed tiles which allows for water run off which means there will be no standing water on top of the tile. By using a waterproof\u00a0substrate below, this means there will be no leaking and water damage to the below roof,<\/p>

\u2022 Our rubber tiles will also move with the existing structure as it settles which will prevent cracks and leaks that can sometimes form with other roofing materials,<\/p>

\u2022 Finally,\u00a0concrete and harder materials are typically more expensive to create and buy compared to rubber roof tiles and require small pedestals under them to allow for sufficient drainage,<\/p>

\u2022 An added structure is not required beneath like with harder materials to encourage water drainage.<\/p>

Despite the fantastic advantages mentioned, there are of course some disadvantages as with all products:<\/p>

\u2022 The tiles will give you less of a natural roofed look compared to using slate or asphalt tiles.<\/p>

\u2022 Our Rubber Tiles ARE NOT suitable for slanted roofs!<\/p>

\u2022 Although lighter than some materials, they are still heavy and some people may struggle to install them alone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
