As part of our tile roof restoration process, our roofing professionals will replace broken, chipped or cracked tiles, but did you know we always opt for second-hand roof tiles?

We are often asked why, and in this blog we reveal the main reasons.

2 Reasons JMZ Uses Second-Hand Roof Tiles During Restorations

Reusing roof tiles can have many benefits, including that it puts old roof tiles that are still in great condition to good use, and stops them from ending up in landfill.

Typically, if you only have a small number of tiles to replace, it will also be more affordable to use second-hand roof tiles than forking out for new ones.

But that’s only the beginning. In addition to being better for the planet – and your wallet! – here are the two main reasons that JMZ Roof Restorations reuses roof tiles:

1. Difficult to match existing tiles

Roof tile manufacturing companies continually change their profiles/shape of tiles over the years.

That means you may actually have great difficulty finding new ones that match your existing tiles, depending on the age of the property.

2. Consistency

Second-hand roof tiles are also used to ensure the gloss level is uniform across the roof.

New tiles are generally glazed and can sometimes cause a patchy appearance when restoring a roof. Using second-hand tiles means we can often achieve a much better (more consistent) finish across the entire roof.

Where Can I Source Second-Hand Roof Tiles?

As part of the roof restoration process, JMZ Roof Restorations will always supply the tiles needed and leave spares for the homeowner.

In addition, our supplier Globalcote does sell second-hand tiles to the public, but there are other places in and around Brisbane where you can purchase them from.
