You may be renovating or building a new home from the ground up. At some stage, you will need to have your roof tiles replaced.
Boral is a leader in roof tiling products and solutions with a range of tiles to suit any type of home.
Your home is your most important asset and the roof is the finishing touch. A roof also protects your home from the elements and harsh conditions presented by the Australian climate .
Since a roof is the largest single component of a house, it should deserve the attention to detail as it acts as a security shield and also adds value and aesthetic rewards to your property.
Your roof can also determine the sustainability of your home by gathering rainwater, providing solar energy benefits and also keeping your family safe by including accessible and clear gutters and downpipes.

BORAL – TERRACOTTA ROOF TILES
Colour Retention:
Boral Terracotta tiles maintain their colour and aesthetic brilliance because they are made with natural clays and kiln-fired at temperatures of 1100°C. This means they withstand the hottest of climates and won’t lose their colour. As a home owner, the benefit is that your roof tiles look good as new as time goes by.
Long Lasting – 50-Year Warranty:
Boral’s 50 year warranty against defects is proof Boral stands by its product and is confident in providing a high quality tile to the market. You can rest assured that Boral roof tiles are made to last.
Salt-Safe & Frost Resistant:
Homes within close proximity to water or the coast benefit from terracotta tiles because they are salt-safe and won’t be affected by the conditions.
Boral’s 50 year warranty applies to homes regardless of their location.
Thermal Performance:
During severe heat or the Australian summer, the interior of your home remains cool thanks to the thermal performance of Boral tiles. They do not absorb heat and allow the interior of the home to remain at a comfortable living temperature. This helps the home owner use less energy when it comes to cooling the home.
Sarking under the roof tiles combined with great insulation are highly recommended.
Sound Performance:
Terracotta tiles reduce exterior noise due to their density and block out sound traveling from above such as heavy rain during a storm, traffic noise on a busy road and even aircraft noise.
Low Maintenance:
In the long run, maintenance of standard roof tiles can be costly. However, Boral roof tiles are designed and installed to ensure low maintenance requirements. Damaged or affected tiles are easily replaced without having to replace the surrounding tiles in the area.
To get the best performance out of your Boral roof tiles, make sure you speak to a licensed Boral roof tiler.
Fire Resistant:
Boral Terracotta roof tiles are safe to use in areas where bushfires are common as they are non-combustible. BAL-12 to BAL-40 assessed areas, sarking with a flammability index of no higher than 5 needs to be installed beneath the roof tiles and needs to cover the entire roof.
In BAL-FZ areas, you can find more information regarding specific construction requirements at the following link: www.rtaa.com.au.
Rainwater & Tank Safety:
You can easily and safely collect rainwater which runs off your roof tiles and into your tank. Collected rainwater can be stored in water tanks for re-use because Boral roof tiles are non-toxic. You can easily save water and conserve water consumption by collecting rainwater without worrying about harmful materials contaminating the water.
Boral Terracotta tiles adhere to the AS 2049 standards meaning the tile surface area is free from harmful or hazardous chemicals or elements and are not harmful to human health.
BORAL – CONCRETE ROOF TILES
Long Lasting – 50 Year Warranty:
Boral is proud of its roof tiles and happy to provide a 50 year warranty against defects. Concrete roof tiles are made to last and withstand harsh Australian climate conditions. Boral concrete tiles are made from durable high grade concrete meaning they are hard wearing and will leave your home looking beautiful for a life time.
Range of Colours:
Boral’s range of concrete roof tiles consist of a wide range of colours and styles which makes your choice a lot easier. Concrete tiles consist of a combination of cement, graded sands and pigments.
Salt-Safe for Coastal Homes:
Similar to the terracotta tile range, the Boral concrete tiles are salt-safe which make them ideal for coastal homes and waterfront properties.
Comfort Indoors:
Thanks to their high grade design, Boral concrete tiles block out the outside elements leaving the interior of the home comfortable and suitable for family living.
Also, by choosing a lighter tile colour, heat absorption is reduced meaning you can enjoy the Australian summer without running your cooling system throughout the entire day.
Acoustic Performance:
Boral concrete tiles can potentially reduce noise by up to 30db. This is beneficial if you live near high traffic areas, train lines, flight paths or even if you want to reduce weather noise such as heavy rain or storms.
Low Maintenance:
Little maintenance is required to keep your roof tiles looking great. Professionally installed Boral roof tiles will be easily to replace or remove should you need to attend to a damaged tile or have a need to renovate.
Fire Resistant:
Australia’s summer climate presents hazards and risks and many homes each year are prone to dangerous bushfires. Boral concrete tiles are non-combustible and safe to use in areas prone to bushfires. In areas which are BAL-12 assessed, it is a requirement that sarking with a flammability index of no greater than 5 is installed under the roof tiles which covers the entire roof area. Learn more about specific construction and building requirements for BAL-FZ areas at www.rtaa.com.au
Rainwater & Tank Safety:
Easily and safely collect rainwater in water tanks which can be re-used to water the garden, wash the car or any other purpose. Water channeled into water tanks is safe and non-hazardous as Boral concrete roof tiles are non-toxic.
