Beautifully Durable
Challenge
A new house being built in Orewa was in need of an aesthetically-pleasing roof. The wish list from this owner was a roof with a point of difference to the corrugated steel roofs in the area, but which wouldn't cost a fortune. Being within 400m of the beach also created the need for a roof that could withstand harsh coastal conditions.
Solution
The owner turned to Viking Roofspec, who had the perfect solution in the Viking Roser roof tile, with an extensive range of colours and profiles to choose from. He decided on the Stonewood Shake profile in the charcoal colour.
In terms of withstanding coastal conditions, the owner was comforted in the knowledge that the alloy coating of the Roser tile meant the roofing system was perfect, without requiring any special treatment. Additionally, the textured finish of the Roser tile uses the same mineral chip that Viking's CertainTeed shingle has used in New Zealand for the past 28 years.
Having not used a metal tile before, the builder wanted assurance that the Roser Roof tile would not delay the project. With a Viking Approved Applicator installing the entire roofing system, and with no purlins required, there was less work for the builder with the Roser roofing system.
Result
The owner was thrilled with the final result. Not only did he have a stunning roof that set the property apart from their neighbours, but he could now look forward to spending 50 confident, comfortable years under the Viking Roser Roof warranty.
