Restoration Risk Profile
Blackburn Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Blackburn
On most concrete tile roofs from the 1980s and 1990s, the factory-applied acrylic coating has UV-degraded through to the base slurry layer. Once that happens the tile surface becomes porous, moisture absorption accelerates, and biological growth takes hold rapidly.
Why It Happens
The factory coating on Blackburn's Concrete Tiles is acrylic-based and degrades under UV exposure through photochemical chain scission — the polymer chains in the binder break down, the coating chalks, and eventually loses adhesion to the slurry layer beneath.
How We Fix It
Where clients want a colour change on concrete tiles, we use a pigmented acrylic coating in the manufacturer's recommended application weight. Heavier coatings look better initially but build up a film thickness prone to peeling — the specified rate exists for a reason.
