WHAT IS THE BEST ROOF FOR REROOFING AND WHY?

Autumn is a great season for reroofing a house.
You too may be planning to do just that in the near future.

 

Reroofing a house requires a very important decision.

It is a complex project with tiles, accessories, layers and it involves a significant cost. There is also a wide range of different products and brands to choose from. Therefore reroofing needs expertise and preparation.

That is why we at GERARD have decided to help you with some tips and tricks so you can make the right decision. All the advice is based on our more than 60 years of roofing experience.

So here we go –

 

WHAT IS THE OPTIMAL APPROACH WHEN YOU WANT TO REROOF YOUR HOUSE?

 

Here are a few things to be careful about.

• HEAVY REROOFING SOLUTIONS

Do not ignore the extra time and money spent on a new wooden roof structure for the placement of new heavy tiles. They can break during transport or installation. They may fail to protect your house during extreme weather like high winds or hail. That is why we believe that traditional roofing heavyweights such as clay and concrete tiles are not the best choice for reroofing.

• LIGHT REROOFING SOLUTIONS

You could buy a lightweight roof like longrun or other products, which can save you money on the roof structure. Having said that, they don’t look as attractive as you may wish. They may also fail to cope in the long term with forces of nature such as hail, high winds and storms. GERARD can withstand all of these, and it is even resistant to UV radiation to ensure not only protection but also an attractive look for your roof for many decades to come.

 

 

WHAT IS THE BEST ROOF FOR REROOFING THEN?

Here is our
TOP 4 FEATURES:

 

1. LIGHTWEIGHT.

You may not even need to touch your current roof. Our modern roofing tiles are 7-times (!) lighter than traditional clay or concrete tiles. In some cases, a new GERARD roof can even be installed directly on top of an existing roof. But GERARD is not only light.

2. BEAUTIFUL.

Due to a natural stone coating which comes from volcanoes in New Zealand, GERARD roofs can be so attractive that you will not even believe they have a strong metal core.

3. DURABLE.

That strong metal core can protect your house even for your grandchildren, no wonder a GERARD roof comes with 50 year warranty. How it is that metal tiles do not rust, you may ask. Because GERARD is protected with a corrosion-proof Aluminium-Zinc layer on both sides. GERARD is pleasing to the eye but it also makes sense to the mind. A truly modern reroofing solution. Maybe the best? It is your call.

4. EASY TO INSTALL.

Also, thanks to our lightweight and larger sized roofing tiles, roofers work faster and you can enjoy your new roof earlier.
