Description

Painting roof tiles is not a decorating job many domestic painters will consider when theyโ€™re doing up their home. Tradespeople, on the other hand, are often tasked with painting roof tiles, and need exterior paint that they can rely on.

Our acrylic roof tile paint is one of the best in the UK, with unmatched durability that doesnโ€™t detract from its bold colours or sheen.

The Best Paint for Roof Tiles

When painting a surface, durability is always one of the most important things to think about. Usually this is to prevent scuffs and scratches on surfaces like interior walls, floors, doors, skirting boards, and everything in between.

For roof tiles, choosing a hardwearing paint is about more than just aesthetics. If roof tile paint wears away quickly, it could cause damage to your tiles and the vulnerable parts underneath.

The most durable tile paints are oil-based. However, before you add some to your basket, there are other factors to consider. Oil-based paints are always glossy, which will create glare from your roof tiles. They also produce potentially harmful VOCs, which is less of an issue for exterior painting but is still worth considering.

Our acrylic roof tile paint is perfect for anyone looking to both protect their roof tiles and make them look fantastic. Itโ€™s a water-based paint that offers durability similar to what oil-based tile paint can achieve, but with none of the downsides.

Water-based paints are more beginner-friendly, which isnโ€™t an issue for tradespeople, but the shorter drying times and the easy application are features no professional painter should ignore.

Roof Tile Paint for Protecting Roofs

So what does this durability do for roof tiles? Well for tiles to work at their best, they should funnel water towards your guttering so that it doesnโ€™t seep between the tiles and cause damage to the woodwork below or create leaks and damp that can be a challenge to repair or prevent.

Our roof tile paint has been designed specifically for this purpose. Like other paints, it is water-resistant, but the compound has been adjusted so that it improves the water flow. This creates long-term protection against weather damage, including rain, hail, snow, and frost.

Formulated with durable acrylic resins, this paint provides excellent adhesion and flexibility, ensuring long-lasting beauty and durability for your home or commercial property

The compound is also breathable, which is something many other exterior paints lack. When the roof tiles can โ€˜breatheโ€™ moisture cannot build up and it reduces the risk of mould, mildew, and rot. The breathable formula allows water vapor to escape from the substrate, ensuring optimal ventilation and preserving the integrity of the roofing material.

The Best Colour for Roof Tiles

When you picture roof tiles, youโ€™ll often see them as grey or red, but you may be surprised to hear that there are a lot more colour options available if you want to push the boat out.

Our acrylic roof tile paint is available in:

  • Charcoal
  • Terracotta
  • Light Grey
  • Mid Grey
  • Dark Grey
  • Rustic Red
  • Black
  • Dark Green
  • Brown

These arenโ€™t as bright as pink or neon yellow, but they will still make your roof the envy of your neighbours. If your home is an investment, paint your tiles in a shade that looks better than the properties on either side to give it that โ€˜wowโ€™ factor before potential buyers have taken a step inside.

How to Paint Roof Tiles

Once you have the perfect paint, in the perfect colour. Itโ€™s time to get to work.

Even in warmer months, choosing when to paint your tiles isnโ€™t easy. You need a few days at least with low wind and 0 chance of rain, which can ruin your efforts in a few minutes if your paint hasnโ€™t yet dried.

Acrylic roof tile paint helps with this, as it has a much shorter drying time than oil-based tile paints.
