And it\u2019s no accident that a Decra\u00ae roof can. Our tiles are designed to withstand all weather extremes and have been installed the world over for over 60 years. From sub-zero temperatures in Eastern Europe to homes on the equator in Africa, and from coastal locations to mountainous inland sites, Decra\u00ae roofs are proven to withstand any weather condition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#000\">One of the biggest problems with stone coated roofing tiles is colour change caused by the suns UV. Decra\u00ae is the only tile we have come across that doesn\u2019t react this way, and it\u2019s all down to the high quality natural volcanic stone chips we use. The other problem customers often encounter with stone chip is \u201cchip loss\u201d which can happen during heavy rainfall. While other brands of tile suffer from their stone chip being washed away by the rain, the unique way in which Decra\u00ae stone is embedded in our patented basecoat ensures that it can\u2019t be removed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#000\">An increasing issue, particularly for homes on the eastern coast of Africa, is that of hurricane strength winds. While metal sheets, clay and concrete tiles are easily lifted by the wind, Decra\u00ae roof tiles are fastened in such a way that makes this impossible.\u00a0 In fact, our tiles are tested to withstand 200kph winds! And it\u2019s not just the wind you have to worry about. In these weather conditions, flying debris can cause plenty of damage to a roof. A flying coconut for example would dent a metal sheet, crack a clay \/ concrete tile, but have little effect on Decra\u00ae.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1449&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>To discover more benefits of a Decra\u00ae Roof, visit our \u201cWhy choose us\u201d page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decraafrica.com\/en-lr\/choose-decra\/\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] From baking hot sunshine to torrential rain your roof needs to be able to withstand anything that nature throws at it.
