Five Reasons Why You Should Have Your Tile Roof Restored

If you have a Tile Roof older than 12 years Tile Roof Restoration will benefit have the following five benefits and more:

• Stops any moisture from absorbing into the surface of the tiles.

  While some unethical roofing salesmen exaggerate the effects of this occuring research carried out by engineering firm ‘Ivan Marovitch and Associates’ found that it is beneficial to re-coat your tiles and keep them from becoming water logged in lengthy rain periods. (Too avoid unscruptulous roofing salesmen read this article: Roof Restoration "Sales Tricks").

• Re-pointing your ridge caps makes them safe in high winds and violent weather.

  This protect you and your family in the event of a vicious storm. Loose ridge capping being torn off is the primary cause of costly storm damage on tiled roofs.

• The membrane coating preserves your pointing in three ways.

  Firstly, it protects it from U.V rays which break down the pointing mortar. Secondly, it prevents the pointing from expanding and contracting as much as un-coated pointing. Expansion and contraction of the pointing mortar causes small cracks to appear. This saves you money in repairs as your roof will be more durable and last longer.

• The membrane coating acts as an anchor over the pointing which prevents it from pulling away from the ridge capping.

  This protects one of the most leak prone areas of your roof protecting you, your family and your valuable belongings from water damage.

• Improves the quality and purity of water run-off.
  If you have rain water tanks, having your roof restored will make the water running off your roof cleaner. With most roof coatings, it’s safe to drink the run-off (check the manufacturers specs first, though).
