Roof Tiles for Living
The Bristile Difference
For thousands of years, life has taken place under roof tiles. They reduce energy consumption, keep you warm and cool, are fire resistant, won't rust and offer excellent insulation. We've got even more reasons why a Bristile roof always comes out on top:
1. Unbeatable Warranties
More security and peace of mind
We've been around a long time. So have our tiles.
Our warranties cover everything from colourfast terracotta that won't fade, to workmanship, to our renowned 100-year warranty for selected products. For you, it means guaranteed reassurance. Every single time.
2. All Year Round Efficiency
Keeping your house comfortable
Australia's climate is one of the harshest and most variable in the world.
Tests conducted by the Florida Solar Energy Center (USA)* showed that roof tiles reflected more heat away from the home than metal roofing of the same colour - effectively lowering the need for cooling devices like air conditioners.
3. Strong and Enduring
Making your home last a lifetime
Whether you choose concrete or terracotta, we've got you covered.
Concrete roof tiles are designed to be incredibly strong and long-lasting, which is why our guarantees are so robust. The colour of our La Escandella terracotta tiles is guaranteed not to fade or change, even in the hottest and driest parts of the country.
4. Lifelong Low Energy
Making it better for the environment
Good for you, and the planet. That's why sustainability is now more important than ever.
For tiles, it's best measured in embodied energy. That measure takes into account not just the finished product, but how it's made, transported, installed and more, with the aim of a low embodied energy score. Concrete roof tiles have the lowest, followed by terracotta tiles.
5. Noise Reducing
Keeping noise out
Our roof tiles are made from dense materials like concrete and terracotta.
That means they're far better at reducing noise from sources such as road and air traffic and extreme weather - by as much as 30 decibels.^ Tiled roofs also minimise 'popping' or 'cracking' noises, especially when temperatures vary.
6. Reusable and Recyclable
Life beyond your roof
Our concrete and terracotta roof tiles have an exceptionally long life cycle.
In fact, they can be reused and recycled from one building to another many times over, and also recycled for use in many other products - sometimes even completely new tiles.
7. Repairable and Replaceable
Easy to repair or replace
Extreme weather events and accidents can happen, and tiles can get damaged.
Another benefit of having a tiled roof is you only ever need to replace individual tiles, meaning repairs are relatively simple. You won't need to spend a lot to replace entire sections, and the removal and replacement of a tile is much quicker and usually far more cost effective.
8. Corrosion and Rust Free
Enduring the toughest conditions
Many homes in Australia are built in coastal environments.
Concrete and terracotta roof tiles are ideal for such environments as they are non-corrosive. This means they never suffer from the tarnish and weak spots that rust can create, and makes them and outstanding choice for projects in or near coastal environments.
