Ceramic art

Deciding on a roofing system for your home requires research. As a significant part of a home's construction, the roof brings shelter and a sense of security. For these reasons, its resilience to the elements and durability are factors worth considering before making such a substantial investment.

But the roof also has a decorative role to play and is a dominant feature capping a home's overall character. Nu-lok Roofing Systems recognises this balancing act and has produced a range of ceramic tiles as much based on visual appeal as in structural integrity. As general manager Peter Lewis says, its products and service provide solutions to all roofing needs.

"An advantage of Nu-lok tiles is the low, almost zero, water absorption," he says.

This eliminates deterioration from moss, algae and discolouration, with a 50-year guarantee against corrosion. The end result is a roof that offers high performance in harsh climates, easy maintenance and enduring street appeal.

Nu-lok ceramic tiles are also significantly lighter than traditional installations, meaning less stress on the roof long-term. And considerably less materials are used during installation, because the patented fixing system eliminates the need for double-lapping of slates.

"The cost savings from product, labour and maintenance can be significant," Lewis says. "This makes quality roofing that is durable and appealing more affordable."
