All Decra\u00ae roof products are manufactured from alu-zinc steel which have shown in tests to last 6-9 times longer than ordinary galvanised steel roofing products. This is achieved by protecting the steel core with zinc, which is itself protected by an aluminium barrier. As a pioneer of using alu-zinc steel, Decra\u00ae has unrivalled experience in long lasting steel roof tile manufacture.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”6708″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_custom_heading text=”NATURAL STONE” font_container=”tag:h6|font_size:22|text_align:center|color:%23000000″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1531234458259{margin-top: -10px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1531234428690{margin-top: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Decra\u00ae Roofing tiles are coated with natural stone chips, volcanically formed and taken from quarries in New Zealand. These coatings add natural beauty to the roof and a hard layer of protection from the weather Being of natural stone, the vibrant colour is protected against the extreme UV of the African sun and will never change.<\/span><\/p>\n

Long term performance is one thing that sets Decra apart from other stone coated tiles. For example, our unique advanced manufacturing techniques ensure that our stone chip remains attached to our tiles for a lifetime. We\u2019re the only company to have a 60 year history of making stone coated roof tiles and we employ the experience & expertise gained over that time in our advanced manufacturing technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Copies are rarely as good as the original, and no other manufacturer can match Decra\u00ae<\/sup> for experience or heritage. Other tile manufacturers reduce the quality inside the tile where it is needed the most in order to make a tile that looks like Decra on the outside. This is what they do….. <\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”10″][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10374″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1531234677603{margin-top: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Reducing the amount of alu-zinc in the steel saves cost, but it also reduces the lifespan of the steel. Cutting the alu-zinc by half reduces the life of the steel by two thirds.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”10372″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1531234687483{margin-top: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Instead of natural volcanic stone chip other manufacturers use painted stone to save money. This quickly changes colour do to UV.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a generic base coat to stick their coating to their steel means the product wasn\u2019t designed with this job in mind. The result is chip loss, exposing the steel to corrosion.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople have conned it and are using generics which has spoilt its name… Tanzanians have started manufacturing a profile for \u2018Decra\u2019 with metal and then painting it and if you use it here at the beach within five years it is finished.\u201d <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

When you bend a Decra\u00ae<\/sup> Tile it will remain 100% covered with stone chip. On fake tiles this test can expose the steel. Tiles are bent during installation so this is a good test. If steel is exposed, the roof could rust from day one<\/span><\/p>\n

Scraping the tile will reveal how well the stone chip is stuck on. With Decra\u00ae<\/sup> chip loss will be minimal, but compare this to other tiles. On fake tiles, stone chip can wash off in heavy rain but not on Genuine Decra tiles.<\/span><\/p>\n
