Colouring roof tiles: Dyebrick can be used to restore and enhance old faded concrete and clay roof tiles. It is only suitable for uncoated, natural concrete and clay roof tiles and should not be used on modified acrylic slurry-coated tiles or tiles with a glazed or sealed surface. Quite a few tiles manufactured over the last 10 years fall into this category, so please check first.

DYEBRICK IS NOT GUARANTEED FOR USE ON ROOF TILES. However, we do supply a 10 Year Guarantee against colour loss or fade on Vertical clad tiles. The best method for application is by paintbrush. You need to be careful to avoid the product becoming airborne and staining any other surfaces.

Dyebrick will not be effective on moss, algae or lichen or excessive dirt, so these deposits must be removed by pressure washing. Extra care must be taken if removing trapped contaminants from old tiles, as this can compromise the durability of the surface.

Sample test areas should always be carried out to assess the practicalities or suitability of colour corrective measures.

Allow the cleaned areas to dry out thoroughly as the roof needs to be dry prior to any tinting work.

Concrete roof tiles can absorb a large amount of fluid so please test the coverage rate of your tiles first. See how many tiles you can coat using 1 litre of water first, this will give you a guide on how much to purchase.

Please try our sample pots first, to assess the degree of attachment to your tile type. You can then try pressure washing the surface the following day and see how well it has attached.
