Things to consider when choosing the right roof for you

It is worthwhile spending some time looking at the different colour and profile options available and having a good idea of what you want before talking to different suppliers.

Colour

There is a huge range of colours ranging from 100% natural stone, to ceramically coated stones. It is important to use a supplier whose product has a long track record and whose colour technology is proven in all environments, because the single biggest issue with products that fail are with colour change.
Building Style

Building Style

Make sure you choose a roof profile and colour which matches your building’s colour and design. What may look nice in a showroom or in a picture may not in reality match your building style. Look at pictures of similar buildings and see which roof best matches 'your look'.
Sorrounding Environment

Surrounding Environment

Some profiles and colours look better than others in different physical environments. For example, in a natural green environment, darker roofs in brown, dark red and black tend to be better suited than blues and brighter colours.
