Roof Tile Painting

Is it time to give your home a complete makeover? Cochin Painters assists residents in Ernakulam in modernising the appearance of their houses without requiring them to replace their roofs.

The roof painting services from Cochin Painters do more than just improve the curb appeal; they also provide a slew of added advantages. The roof is a critical component of the home, although it is often overlooked. People usually forget to paint their roofs when they paint the outside of their homes. Even if it makes a house look more attractive, painting the roof serves a number of reasons in addition to the aesthetic aspects.

Types of Roofs:

Clay roof tiles

Ancient clay tiles are popular. They’re popular since they’re waterproof. They absorb less water than concrete and are lightweight (6%) Many producers guarantee clay tiles for 30 years, however, they can endure 50-60 years.

Concrete roof tile

Concrete tiles last 50-60 years but are heavier than clay tiles. Concrete tiles are low-maintenance. These fire-resistant tiles prevent property damage from a fire.

Natural slate roof tiles

Cochin Painters says a well-maintained slate roof may last 150 years. Installing slate tile is costly.

Metal roof tiles

Metal roof tiles come in galvanised steel, copper, zinc, and aluminium. Metal tiles last 40-70 years. Eco-friendly and energy-efficient, yet pricey and noisy in bad weather.

Thin roof tiles

Lightweight roof tiles have become trendy in recent years. A lightweight roof tile is under 20kg. This weight is helpful for DIY installation. It’s also more ecologically friendly.

Reclaimed roof tile

Reusing outdated roof tiles might save money. It’s good for the environment and gives restoration projects authenticity. Reused roof tiles are great for nature reserves and cultural projects.

Terracotta tiles

Roof tiles known as terracotta are crafted from natural clay, which is normally a substance that retains moisture.

Interlocking roof tiles

Interlocking roof tiles look like concrete and clay but are easier to install. They are more environmentally friendly and less expensive to install since they are bigger than normal tiles.

What should you know before painting the tiles on your roof?

There are a few types of roofing tile materials that can be painted, but not all of them. It is possible to paint tiles made of concrete, slate, and clay. However, terracotta roof tiles can not be painted like other types of roof tiles. In most cases, roof tiles are designed to survive a long time, maybe decades. It’s possible that the colour will fade quickly due to sunlight and severe conditions. House concrete roof tiles may always benefit from a new coat of paint to make them seem even better. Painting your roof could be the most effective way to update its appearance, which is why you should consider giving it a new coat of paint.

How’s Roof Tile Painting done?

Professional roof painting services from Cochin Painters are usually the finest alternative for homeowners.

Using a Pressure Washer

Before beginning any painting project, we at Cochin Painters ensure that the surface is properly prepared. Concrete roof painting is no exception. Concrete tiles should be pressure washed to eliminate any and all dirt.

Apply a Base Coat

The concrete roof tiles must be primed using the best primer available on the market. Priming is a step that strengthens the connection between the painted surface and the paint. The paint job won’t last as long if you don’t prime the surface first.

Apply a Top Coat

After the priming coat, two solid membrane coatings should be applied. These are membranes that prevent any water from coming in and give long-term protection against the weather and keep your roof looking excellent for years.

If it’s a sunny day, go ahead and paint!

When you paint the roof tiles, you should do so on a bright day when the temperature is comfortable, there is no heavy dew or rain in the forecast, and there is no wind.
