Roof Tiles: Concrete & Steel Options for Long-Lasting Protection
When it comes to roofing, durability, aesthetics, and climate resistance are key. At Build It DTM in Benoni, we supply high-quality concrete and steel roof tiles designed for both modern and traditional buildings across Gauteng.
Concrete Roof Tiles: Tough, Timeless & Affordable
Why Choose Concrete Tiles?
Concrete roof tiles are one of the most widely used roofing materials in South Africa. Known for their strength, thermal performance, and affordability, they’re ideal for long-term roofing solutions.
Benefits:
Durable & Fire-Resistant – Concrete tiles last 30 to 50 years with proper installation.
Weatherproof – Withstand harsh sun, rain, and seasonal storms.
Energy Efficient – Help regulate indoor temperature.
Low Maintenance – Don’t warp or rot like other materials.
We currently stock the Double Roman concrete tile – a classic profile known for its Mediterranean-inspired look and strong interlocking design. These tiles allow for fast and secure installation, while offering excellent resistance to wind and moisture.
Choose from natural grey or UV-resistant coloured coatings that retain vibrancy over time – perfect for sunny climates like Gauteng.
Ideal for:
Residential homes
Complexes & schools
Pitched roof structures
