Tiles last a long time, but how long will the color last?
Permanent coloring of roof tiles is achieved by adding pigment to the raw materials, applying a dense color sealant over the surface, or through blending various shades of pigment and sealing. As Hanson Roof Tiles are sealed, not glazed, this acts as a curing membrane to help even coloration during the curing process. Colors achieved by adding pigment will last indefinitely. Varying degrees of color softening may occur after extended exposure to the elements. However, this occurs to a lesser degree with roof tile than with most other roofing materials.
