Roof restoration (painting) old concrete tiles is very popular in Australia. Sure the new paint will give the roof a facelift but the old brittle tiles remain covered up. This procedure costs several thousand dollars and the guarantee is usually no more than ten years. A re-paint after ten years will set you back several thousand more however a guarantee can’t be provided over an initial coat of paint. What most people don’t know is that for a little more than roof restoration costs we can provide a total roof replacement. Many savvy Australians are replacing their old roof tiles or metal roofing with our asphalt shingle system due to the fast and easy installation and competitive cost price. Our premium roofing shingles have up to 40 year manufacturers warranties.

Please advise longevity of this type of roofing material relative to concrete roofing tiles
Hi Ian, Thanks for your question.
Our IKO asphalt shingles come with a 20 – 40 year limited manufacturers warranty’s depending on the style of asphalt shingle purchased. This includes a three year “Iron Clad guarantee” which is the normal time in which any manufacturing defects will be seen. If any defects arise within this three year period full replacement and installation will be offered.
Just took a look at Boral’s guarantee and in my opinion it is a little narrow in scope. It warrants that Boral tiles will meet A.S 2049 with respect to strength and water absorption. If any tile fails this standard Boral will AT ITS DISCRESION, either repair or replacethe defective tiles, supply the equivalent tiles or pay for their repair, replacement or substitution.
Boral will NOT WARRANT :-
any colour change, shade variation or sheen/ sealer weathering.
Damage caused by walking on the roof.
Cleaning your tiles with chemicals.
Falling items.
Pollution.
Storms.
Tempest.
Any other products used to install your roof, valley iron, all flashings, mortar etc…
Not a lot in that warranty. If you want your concrete roof tiles to look good you will need to have them painted at a cost of several thousands and this process will need to be done every 5 – 10 years. This starts to cost a lot.
In my opinion a benefits of the asphalt shingle roofing system is that the roof is trafficable, the roof uses small clean flashings, not the unsightly large lead flashings and often rusted valleys that are on tiled roofs. There is no mortar that will need to be replaced over time. The roof will fade slightly but all as one and the colour change is not noticeable. After 30 – 40 years the asphalt shingle component of the roof “not the plywood base” can be replaced and on an average sized roof this can be done for $3000 – $4000. Not bad for a complete new roof.
