How long can I expect a Unicrete concrete Roof to last?
A. Concrete roof tile has been around since the mid 1800’s and has a historically established service life of around 80 years. We have been manufacturing concrete roof tile here at our Calgary Alberta manufacturing plant since 1978 and our first tiles are still looking great! Top Q. How long will my Unicrete tile roof keep its colour A. Our concrete roof tiles are “through-tile” coloured. This means that the colour pigment is mixed throughout the tile and the colour is therefore permanent. As tiles age, there may be slight changes in the appearance. The one exception to this permanent colour is a painted tile. Once the paint has worn to the extent that a new colour is desired – usually in 15 to 20 years – the roof may be re-painted.
