MONIER ROOF TILES

Listing ID #3030974

Concrete tiles are made from sand, water, cement and pigments, and are not fired like clay tiles, but cured at temperatures of approximately 60 degrees celsius. The curing process makes them sturdy enough to be transported and laid within a few days of manufacture, and they get stronger over time. Some of the very first concrete tiles, produced back in 1844 at a cement factory in staudach, germany, are still on roofs today. The energy-efficient production process and long product life cycle mean that concrete tiles have a comparatively low environmental footprint. Braas monier’s latest innovation is a concrete roof tile with aerlox technology. It is just as durable as standard roof tiles but up to 40% lighter. Not only roofers benefit from this light weight tile in their daily work. Aerlox is also a great alternative for home owners with a weaker roof construction which is not able to carry the weight of standard concrete tiles.
