Shake Tiles:
MonierLifetile's most popular
profile in the Pacific Northwest and West-Coast region of B.C.
Resembling the architecture of thick sawn cedar shingles, it has become
the style of choice in the last decade when selecting concrete tile.
The cost of MonierLifetile Shake
tiles is less expensive than real cedar shakes, and is often less than
many heavy duty asphalt laminated shingles. This is MonierLifetile's
most competitively priced product and the easiest of all the tiles to
install.
The popular colour choices are
Charcoal, Chestnut Brown, and Northwest Grey. Emulating old wood in its
Pacific driftwood look, its browner weathered look or wood with its
often black algae covered appearance, these three colours can be found
in subdivisions all over Southwest BC and Vancouver Island.
Charcoal is getting to be an
over-used colour and is getting a little stale looking. We suggest
selecting other colours that are lighter, warmer-toned, and more unique.
See
editorial on trends and colours.
There are other colours which
can add immense warmth and interest to the architectural style of you
home. Take a look at how "Cedar Blend" or
"Sandalwood" simulates a newer cedar shake, or how
"Sequoia" resembles wood from a redwood forest. A small,
minute difference in cost regarding the colour choice of tile can
seriously alter the appearance of your finished home's architecture.
Remember...40 to 70% of your
home's street appeal and character is directly attributable to the roof
style, colour, and texture.
