Roof Tiles India

Roofing Tiles in India are made of a lot of products now days, Polycarbonate sheets, GI sheets, ACC sheets, Cement cast roof tiles and clay/ terracotta roof tiles.
Clay Roof tiles being the most common and most abundant in India are made mostly in the coastal areas of Southern India. Roofing worldwide is an industry, which is found around the coastal areas. Mangalore, Kerala and Gujarat are the formidable players in this field, but going with times this industry has not modernised or equipped itself with the latest systems of shaping, handling, glazing and firing which are the most crucial factors for manufacturing a good Clay Roof Tile. The temperature of firing in India on the locally available roof tiles is no where close to the modern units such as Boral of Australia. A good firing is the soul of the roof tile enabling it to take on the onslaughts of the harshest treatment once on the rooftops. You have the sun, wind, rain and hailstorms and other factors continuously playing on the roof tiles and to beat all this and still remain the same the roof tiles have to undergo the best and toughest of tests which are done at Boral factories to give a Guaranteed product. It is the consistent effort and motivation of the Boral technical and manufacturing staff to give the best that nobody can deliver. A lot of tests are done on the tile to check all parameters of stability on rooftops and make them leak proof etc which the local tile manufacturers have not even heard of.
Today it is fortunate that in a competitive world, Clay Roof Tiles are available in India, which are world class, and with so much of choice of both profiles and colours that we can be part of modern day housings with pride.
