Can you paint Roof Tiles?

If your roof is looking a bit dull or the colour isn’t quite what it used to be and it’s time for a freshen up, you might be wondering: can you paint roof tiles?


Yes, you can! However, it’s not as simple as painting a wall and requires specialty products, attention to detail and a lot of preparation.


Roof coatings that are classed as a membrane, not a paint, allow the coating to adapt in both hot and cold weather conditions. Paints alone do not do this.


What makes it possible to paint roof tiles?

At JMZ we use a range of Globalcote products, which are specifically designed to cope with Australia’s unusual climate. The waterproof coating has been specially formulated to withstand our weather elements and can be used in areas with very harsh climate conditions.


By using these products we know that not only do they exceed the Australian standard but they are also environmentally friendly, 100% acrylic and they are highly flexible products which will grow and shrink with your roof.


Can you paint your own roof?

While it may seem like a simple job, it’s not as easy as you think. A DIY project can be risky and does not provide any reassurance that the work will last 10-15 years. Plus it’s not covered by a warranty.


It’s a job best left to the professionals (like us!) because they are trained in their profession of roof tiling and roof painting. We also have right equipment and will ensure the paint goes where it’s meant to. There’s also the extra assurance that the work is covered under a 10-year warranty.
