PrintRoofing shingles compared to Decra
While roofing shingles are aesthetically pleasing, they are not without their problems. Traditional wooden shingles are subject to rotting, especially in damp climates. Although bituminous felt shingles do not rot they often experience an even shorter life span due to accelerated wear and tear caused by hot summers and cold winters.
That is where the Decra Oberon Tile comes in. Decra Oberon is just as attractive as any roofing shingles, but also features unrivalled strength and durability.
Unlike wood or felt shingles, which are the most common styles, Decra tiles are made using a core of aluminium zinc galvanised steel. This is protected from the elements by a multi-layered coating system.
Decra tiles do not rot and are impervious to the effects of hot summers and cold winters.
This is why we are able to give a unique 30-year weather security guarantee on all Decra roofs, something that traditional roofing shingles simply cannot compete with.
