Roof tiles offer a wide variety of features that deliver unparalleled options for builders and architects. The Australian Roofing Tile Association has constructed numerous downloadable guides ready made for our members and influencers in the industry.
This technical guide offers a description of the physical properties that directly affect the performance of roof tiles within the Australian environment.
Due to the density of concrete and terracotta, roof tiles offer greater sound insulation properties than other roofing options.
ARTA has issued a technical guide that provides information on Bushfire Attack Levels (BALs) as well as relevant roof tile construction details that will be required of each BAL category.
Following an exhaustive testing program, tiled roof systems have been given the all-clear for use in new construction in high-risk bushfire zones.
This factsheet outlines the implication of changes occurring in AS 2050 'Installation of Roof Tiles' (2018) for builders, manufacturers and roof tilers.
This flyer can help you to get up-to-speed with: • key tiled-roof-related changes NCC 2016 v.s. NCC 2019 • comparison between National Construction Code (NCC) requirements and Australian Standards • where to look for alternative Performance Solutions that in compliance with Building Codes of Australia
This flyer highlights the necessary considerations you need to think about before reroofing your house from metal to tile or vice versa. When it comes to replacing a tiled roof with a metal roof, there are more variables to consider, often inflating costs beyond what was originally predicted.
This product technical statement is a form of documentary evidence for concrete roof tile products, stating its properties and performance that fulfil specific requirements from the National Construction Code.
This product technical statement is a form of documentary evidence for terracotta roof tile products, stating its properties and performance that fulfil specific requirements from the National Construction Code.
This factsheet highlights the key factors that contribute to the quality of rainwater being harvested. Concrete and terracotta tiled roofs are confirmed as suitable roofing materials for harvesting provided proper maintenance measures are followed for the roof and rainwater tanks. Proper maintenance procedures are highlighted in this document.
This factsheet highlights the impacts of choosing a roofing material considerate of the local climate. With a focus on the effects of Solar Absorptance, this factsheet shows the important role that roof tiles play in optimising a building’s energy efficiency.
This datasheet specifies the various mechanical fastening methods and fixing recommendations required to properly install roof tiles.
This factsheet outlines the basic design principles and key considerations for vertically installing roof tiles on various walling systems.
The factsheet outlines the design principles and key considerations for low pitch roof construction less than 15 degrees.
This factsheet outlines the strategies to reduce overheating within Australian schools and promote greater learning outcomes.
