Here is a list of the various tile designs:

Craftsman Shake and CF Shake - the wood-grain appearance of traditional shake roofing.
Antica - also Mediterranean-inspired, this S-shaped tile proves graceful and elegant.
CF Shingle - the traditional asphalt look without the inherent problems.

Each type of tile is manufactured to the highest quality standards and utilizes Zincalume technology for added durability.

HIGH-QUALITY AND LONG-LASTING PRODUCTS

When you choose a Tilcor product, you can be assured that it’s high quality and long lasting.

NATURAL PRODUCTS

We use natural stones for our textured roofs, which retain their color and provide long term durability and stability. Their natural pigments and coloration endure as they’ve formed over millions of years. The base steel is sourced from New Zealand Steel Limited, which uses pure ironsand from the Taranaki coast to create a steel that’s unique in the world.

SUSTAINABILITY

It’s important to us at Tilcor that our business operates in a sustainable way. We care for our local environment by managing our wastewater and noise control. We care for our communities by supporting organisations and individuals in New Zealand, our home. We care for our world by recycling our steel scrap (including off-cuts) and using the latest technologies to reduce our carbon footprint and improve energy efficiency in the building industry.

Steel is considered a sustainable material, and it’s recyclable. At the end of its long life, a Tilcor roof can be recycled into something new.

The go-to company for architects, Tilcor provides high quality, long lasting products that are sustainable. Our CAD designs are accessible to you, and we offer a wide range of tiles and colors so that you can find something to suit any building.

HOW'S YOUR ROOF LOOKING?

It’s important to inspect your roof throughout the year. Pinpointing issues early can save you a lot of money and keep your home watertight.

Avoid walking on the roof, as many products are fragile. Instead, inspect from the ground. Be proactive and also book an annual roof inspection. An expert’s eye can catch small problems before they become big ones.

A high-quality roof will protect you, even in extreme weather conditions.
