what kind of tiles are these

SEE OUR WORK HERE!!! · Guest

From the bottom edge of them they look like some sort of concrete tile. We don't have much of that in my area of Pa, mostly asphalt, slate, or cedar.

Yes, concrete flat tile. My least favorite to clean.

Clyde,

I'm about 99% positive that they are manufactured by Monier Lifetile and the style is the Saxony.

why is that Scott

guest

are there any special concerns?

just use a 60-40 mix?

on a 70 degree day?

Confident Roof Cleaning Houston TX · Guest

No special concerns. They just dont clean up as quick and they show soap residue worse than other roof types.

Scott you got any special cleaning instructions? I would appreciate it.

Confident Roof Cleaning Houston TX · Guest

Nope not really. Just use less soap and protect the plants better because of the increased runoff. Its going to take longer probably.

Matthew · Guest

This is what Scott is talking about.

In most the color is dyed into the concrete not painted or glazed on top.
They're more pourus than other tiles.

As you can see from this photo they will hold onto soap if you use to much, which we did here, but I had almost 0 run off... so, to each they're own choice I guess.

The soap rinses off.

I rinsed this section and adjusted my mix a little for the rest of the roof.

Clyde, it's a naturual concrete Tile Roof. Just spray it as you would any other Roof. Most of those take at least 2 coats and you may find that bumping up to a 60/40 mix or even a 50/50 mix ratio will work faster. We do them all the time.

Those lt grey natural Tile Roofs will leave a bit of an egg shell color when finished. This is just dead mold residue and will rinse off in the rain.

Good eyes!!

We don't run into these, but Larry and Matt do them a lot. It would make sense that they may be a little brown or orange, like ground concrete would be after spraying the love without rinsing or pressure washing.

Watch those gutterless houses and plants down there bro!!
