What Is The Best Way To Clean Roof Tiles?

There are a few different ways that you can clean your roof tiles, depending on the type of dirt and debris that has accumulated on them. If you have a lot of moss or other organic growth on your tiles, you can use a trowel or stiff brush to scrape it off.

It’s important to do this on a dry day so that the moss and other materials are not too wet and sticky. If you have more general dirt and grime build-up, you can use a pressure washer to remove it quickly. Just be careful not to damage the tiles with too much pressure.

What Is The Best Color For Roof Tiles?

The following are the five most popular colors right now:

1. Monument.

Monument, a dark grey/charcoal color that contrasts nicely with black gutter/fascia; if there are apexes (little gables) on the roof, the flat panels would look great in Lexicon half strength, as would soffits in the same color.

If the walls are rendered or made of wood, they can be painted with any color from light off-white to full Lexicon. The monument is a Colorbond color designed to satisfy individuals who desire a deeper grey but not as dark as charcoal.

2. Dark Grey.

The position is a touch lighter than Monument with a smidgeon of blue that provides a distinct depth and aesthetics to the dark grey family; it also goes well with Black gutter/fascia with Lexicon half-strength gables or soffits.

3. Charcoal.

Charcoal is ideal for Hampton-style roofs; it matches any color trimmings ranging from black (for trims) to dark grey, mid & light greys, and whites.

4. Woodland Grey.

Woodland Grey takes the top rank, a dark grey with a trace of green that lends a unique aspect to a roof while complementing light trim and wall colors with a hint of green.

5. Manor Red.

If you have a colonial-type home with a metal roof and want to keep the color scheme classic, Manor Red is the ideal color; traditional silver may be more appropriate if heat concerns.

Are Reclaimed Roof Tiles Cheaper Than New Ones?

When looking at roof tiles, it is important to consider the price of both new and reclaimed options. Reclaimed roof tiles will be cheaper than new ones; however, if you are after a particular type of roof tile, sometimes these may be slightly more expensive if they are not readily available.

There are a few reasons why reclaimed roof tiles may be cheaper overall. First, the cost of labor to create new roof tiles is often higher than the cost of labor to reclaim old roof tiles.

Second, the cost of materials for new roof tiles is often higher than that of reclaimed roof tiles. Finally, the shipping and handling costs for new roof tiles are often higher than those for reclaimed roof tiles.
