Properties

Scudo Tiles

Clay

Surface Coatings & Albedo paints

Lower Surface Temperature – transmitted temperature to the roof slab

9-10 degrees cooler bottom surface temperature compared to traditional clay tiles

9-10 degrees cooler bottom surface temperature compared to traditional clay tiles

Strength (Transverse)

3.5-4N/mm²

2-3N/mm²

Nil

Water Absorption

Less than 4.5%

15-20%

Any rupture in the coating will result in direct water contact with the roof.

Thickness

20mm

12 – 15 mm

50 microns

Bond with substrate

Permanent

10 – 15 years

3 – 5 years only

Maintenance

No moss or dirt formation due to low water absorption.

Moss & dirt formation requires maintenance due to high water absorption.

Needs expensive re-coating every 5 years.

Longevity

Lasts as long as the building.

Will pitt / crack after 15 – 20 years.

Lasts for 3 – 5 years only.

Cost Economics

Lowest use age costs. Proactively saves energy and costs.

Much higher use age costs due to maintenance and replacements.

Extremely high needing recoating every 5 years.
