from the series "Roofs, roof accessories - trends 2024"

A roof is an investment for many years, and the longevity of the house structure, as well as the safety of the occupants, depends on its durability. When choosing a roof covering, it is worth paying attention to the type of material, its properties, resistance to weather conditions and aesthetics. The manufacturer of Braas tiles understands these needs perfectly and offers solutions that provide not only protection, but also peace of mind for years.

One of the most popular roofing materials are ceramic and concrete tiles, which are recognized by investors for their durability and longevity. Braas clay roof tiles, made of high-quality clay and subjected to a high-temperature firing process, are characterized by high resistance to low and high temperatures, and are also resistant to mechanical damage. They are also characterized by complete protection against fire (non-flammability). Braas concrete tiles, on the other hand, guarantee reliable protection right from the start, thanks to the high density of the concrete mass and modern production technology. They are fully resistant to fire, to strong impacts, including hail, to changing weather conditions such as high temperatures, frost and repeated freezing and thawing, and to mechanical damage. The lifespan of the tiles is estimated at approx. 80-100 years.

Resistance to strong hail, rain and gusty winds

Resistanceto strong hail, rain and wind are key advantages of Braas tiles. Their weight makes them excellent at resisting gusts of strong winds and they adhere very well to the roof. If necessary, individual tiles can be easily replaced without having to dismantle a large part of the slope. Tested in a wind tunnel, they provide superior protection even in extremely heavy rain. Specially designed side locks ensure the tightness of the coverage, while the lower aerodynamic lock prevents snow dust and water from blowing under the coverage.

Excellent sound insulation

What distinguishes Braas tiles from other lightweight roofing is the acoustic insulation parameter. A roof made of Braas tiles, unlike lightweight roofing made of sheet metal, does not transmit noise from rain or hail.

The weight of individual tiles makes it more difficult to subject them to vibrations caused by noise, and allows very good damping of sounds coming from outside the building. This is why Braas tiles, especially concrete ones, provide good sound insulation for the interior of the house, especially the attic rooms. High soundproofing ensures comfortable silence inside the building, even during heavy rains.

Tiles full of style

Braas roof tiles include a wide range of models, from classic to modern, meeting the expectations of even the most demanding customers. When we design traditional, classic buildings, we can reach for tiles with traditional corrugated shapes and a more decorative character without fear. Tiles in a smaller format are perfect for covering any folds and decorative elements of the roof. We can emphasize the classic style of the slope by choosing not only the right shape, but also the color of the product.

Flat and elegant

Flat tiles are the ideal choice for admirers of the modern style, which has reigned supreme on roofs for several years. Very popular among Braas concrete flat tiles is the Teviva Cisar model. It is distinguished by its modern shape and simple line. A fashionable range of colors (black, graphite, slate and gray) allows the tile to match the facade and surroundings. Teviva is produced using the modern Cisar technology, patented by the Braas brand, which provides the tile with durability, surface smoothness and deep, intense color saturation.

Turmalin clay t ile, on the other hand, will perfectly emphasize the modern character of the covering especially in buildings with minimalist design. A wealth of colors (copper, anthracite, chestnut, gray and black) gives investors ample opportunity to match the design, location and style of the house. Selected colors are available in three surface finishes - with angobized coating, glazed coating and Top Line Glaze. Excellent technical properties, such as frost resistance and low water absorption, guarantee many years of product strength and durability.

Subtle and minimalist

If you prefer a subtle and minimalist style, consider the Topas 13V clay tile. Its gently concave line will perfectly find its place among minimalist constructions. Noble design combined with the best parameters provides a timeless look, but also resistance and longevity of the roof.

Opal clay tile is also an excellent choice, combining a simple form with historical references to traditional arrangements. This classic "plain tile", with a semicircular end at the bottom, is both simple and balanced in its appearance. Such a combination allows the minimalist style to be exposed in an unusual and original way.

Classics on a roll

If we want to preserve the classic character of the roof, we can reach for corrugated models. The well-known and appreciated regular wave shape on roofs is very popular. This beautiful and popular effect can be achieved, for example, with Bałtycka concrete tiles. The interesting and asymmetrical wave of this model gives the roof a graceful, but also universal appearance that resists temporary trends. Bałtycka is produced using Cisar technology.

Among other corrugated concrete tile models, it is worth mentioning the bestselling model - Celtic Cisar. Its symmetrical profile and high aesthetics create a harmonious image of the entire slope. Celtic Cisar fits perfectly on the roofs of houses maintained in the classical style.

Ruby 9V is an example of a flat Dutch tile that perfectly harmonizes with the aesthetics of traditional architecture, giving the roof an elegant and classic look. In addition, by choosing copper or chestnut shades, we can emphasize the characteristic atmosphere of traditional roofs. The selected colors are available in two surface finishes - with an engobed and glazed coating. As for technical advantages, in addition to the large format and ease of installation, it is also worth mentioning the deep top and side lock, which facilitates the drainage of rainwater from the tile and ensures its rainproofness.
