Installation benefits that deliver value for your business

Made by roofers for roofers. 

We are roofers too, we have over 75 years of roofing experience so we know what it takes to install a roof, so when we are designing our products, the ease of installation is a key focus. The panels are installed in a simple cut, nail or screw and interlock system which means less skilled labor is required to install them, and less labor is needed overall.

Extend your roofing season 

Our panels can be installed in any weather as they are not reliant on a seal strip to bond panels together like asphalt shingles. So you can extend your roofing season and earn more money.

Cost effective delivery

A modular, lightweight system, often an entire roof can be delivered on one pallet, saving space on site and reducing delivery costs.

Faster installation

Tilcor profiles are installed as panels instead of individual tiles, making the process faster.

Made from highest quality materials 

We only use the highest quality materials and follow an extensive Quality Assurance process to ensure that only the very best make it into our Tilcor products. From our quality stone for our textured coatings to the highly regarded New Zealand steel.

New Zealand steel is unique as it made from ironsands sourced from the west coast of New Zealand. The iron ore in the sand is separated by magnets and then used to create steel. This process leads high quality, high grade steel.

The steel is coated with Zinalume, combining the corrosion protection of aluminium with the sacrificial protection of zinc to create an alloy that's ideal for roofing and with a serviceable life that far exceeds galvanised products.

Our ISO9001 manufacturing facility, upholds the highest standards from product sourcing, through manufacturing to delivery of materials.

Environmental Benefits

Sustainable

Made from the most recycled building material in the world, steel. Steel is infinitely recyclable so unlike other roofing products it will continue to be reused over and over again. Also given that a roof can be supplied on 1 or 2 pallets, a Tilcor roof has a low carbon footprint.

Potable Water

Tilcor panels have been tested and meet the World Health Organisation standards for water run off, meaning you can drink water from a Tilcor roof, other roofing products, like Asphalt Shingles can break down and can become toxic after a few years.

Best thermal performance and energy efficiency

Tilcor roofs are known as “cool roofs”. This means they have the ability to cut building owners’ energy costs because they reduce the need for air conditioning.

Tilcor roofing products are designed to be elevated from the roof deck which creates a natural air flow referred to as “Above Sheathing Ventilation”(ASV). This ventilation prevents heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. In addition to proper attic insulation, this can help lower electric costs associated with heating/cooling.

The combination between our steel panels and ASV have seen customers achieve 30% reductions in the energy bills.
