First impressions count. The roof can make up to 30 percent of your facade and great street appeal can add significant value to your home, so it is important to get it right. Here is a simple guide to help pick the right roof for you.
1. Choose the style of your home
For most people, your home is the greatest single investment you will make during your life. Monier's versatile product range accommodates many different architectural styles, from the classic Hamptons look that is on-trend now to a modern industrial style. There is a Monier material, profile and colour to suit your dream home.
2. Select material
Choosing roof tiles rewards you by adding beauty, style and value to your home. Apart from the visual appeal, roof tiles enhance the comfort of your home all year round while helping save money and the environment through energy savings. With Monier you have the option of Terracotta and Concrete roof tiles.
There is a richness and depth of colour with terracotta so it will never fade, preserving the beauty, value and integrity of your home for decades to come. Monier's C-LOC™ Colour Lock Technology is exclusive to Monier concrete tiles: it retains gloss for even longer, so you have the best-looking roof in the street for longer.
3. Selecting the colour & profile
Profile refers to the roof tile's shape and design. It gives your roof its distinct character. Monier offers a large range of profiles, from sleek modern flat profiles to more traditional and classic ones. After choosing the right profile, pick your colour from over 30 options, from earthy warm colours to darker confident colours.
4. Consider your roof finish
Like many things, the finish makes all the difference. If you are after a more contemporary, minimalist look, consider A-line Ridge. For a classical and timeless look, Lapped Ridge is the best option for your home.
5. Roofing essentials
Used together, insulation, ventilation and sarking can significantly reduce the energy required to heat and cool your home. Insulation slows the transfer of heat and cold through your ceiling, regulating temperature all year round. Ventilation minimises temperature build-up in the roof space by extracting trapped hot air, helping prevent mould. Sarking provides an additional layer of protection and can only be fitted when you install a new roof. If you prefer a metal roof, Anticon™ roofing blanket provides the best level of protection.
6. Future proof your home
Australia has more solar radiation energy available per square metre than anywhere in the world. From adding beauty and value to lowering energy bills, Bradford Monier offers the exclusive InlineSOLAR™ option, compatible with all Monier roofing tiles.
