What Are the Advantages of Lightweight Roof Tiles?
These tiles are a favoured choice for a number of projects, such as new builds, roof renovations and extensions. They are also used for garages and conservatories due to the advantages, particularly as they are weather resistant, especially when teamed with a suitable roof underlay, which is important when withstanding the weather.
As they weigh less than concrete or clay tiles (generally they are less than 20kg per square metre) they are easier to carry and transfer. This also means the job is safer, as it’s less likely there will be an accident. The time it takes to fit them is less, therefore it’s less strenuous on roofers. Due to their lighter weight, it will be less stress on the structure that supports the roof. The materials used are generally metal and fibre-cement.
Aesthetically lightweight tiles look good on both older and modern builds, ranging from houses to commercial buildings. Whatever the project is your planning, make sure to talk to a professional first for advice. Call today for all Tile roof repairs in Oxford.
