Product Information
As the
purchaser of monierprime™ concrete tiles it is important that you
understand
their design performance. Concrete tiles are created from the controlled
formulation of raw materials extruded under high pressure to achieve the
tile’s
strength and resistance to water penetration. The colour applied or
incorporated into the body is purely decorative. Each tile’s colour may
vary in
shades throughout the roof. When first
installed, concrete tiles may experience some discolouration caused by
the
migration of lime salts to the surface. This is known as efflorescence.
This
condition is usually temporary.
All cocrete roofs are expected to progressively return to an even matt appearance over time. All tiles will contain small blemishes. During transportation and installation other small blemishes such as scuffing and chip marks may occur. Small blemishes will not detract from the weather proofing and should not been seen as a product fault.
Terracotta tiles are created by firing natural clay in temperatures between 1040°c and 1100°c. Glazed tiles are created by introducing ceramic materilas and oxides to the body or surface of the tile. As each tile is individual to the clay and glaze used, inherently there will be differing shades of colour throughought the manufacturing process. The most attractive roofs are those that ensure a consistent blending of these shades throughtout the roof. Manufactured tile colour change from year to year as the raw material changes.
