NEW ROOF TILE RANGE BRIGHTENS UP HOUSES

 

With 62 years of experience Coverland, is the leader in the South African pitched roof-tile market, and they launched their new LUMINO range into the market earlier this year.

The LUMINO range is a new-generation roof tile developed exclusively for and with Monier Roofing and tested by the Monier Technical Centres in Germany.

During the unique L² - process the coating, which consists of a straight acrylic dispersion, a patented mix of polymer emulsion, is applied to the wet tile. Thereafter, the coating is cured onto the surface and dried, creating an inseparable bond of the colour coating with the tile. The sealed tile pores stop salts and minerals from rising to the tile's surface thereby preventing efflorescence. Coverland's L² - coating technique gives the LUMINO tiles the unique positive attributes that create the longest-lasting tile finish in the South African market.

The intense colour-coating is a result of the unique L2-coating technique, which enhances the colour of the roof tiles significantly. The product gives them a fresh, brighter look, making their appearance significantly richer than existing products on the market. The coating technique is formulated so that it is UV-resistant and prevents efflorescence.

Two premium styles

The LUMINO range offers two premium styles, namely LUMINO Crystal, available in Farmhouse Brown, Farmhouse Kalahari, Farmhouse Red and Farmhouse Terracotta, and LUMINO Flair, which is available in Black, White and Green.  In the LUMINO Flair range, the new coating is used in combination with pigments, creating an even more intense colour-coated finish. The premium tile colours are bright and beautiful and don’t fade over time.

The LUMINO range is the ultimate way to uplift the image of a drab home. Customers are able to match the roof tiles with the other features of the property to create a beautiful house.

During the unique L2-process the coating, which consists of a straight acrylic dispersion, a specially formulated mix of polymer emulsion, is applied to the wet tile.  Thereafter the coating is cured onto the surface and dried, creating an inseparable bond of the colour-coating with the tile.

The sealed tile pores stop salts and minerals from rising to the tile’s surface, thereby preventing efflorescence. Coverland’’s L²-coating technique gives the LUMINO tiles the unique positive attributes that create the longest-lasting tile finish in the South African market. The LUMINO tiles are specifically designed to protect the tile finish against ultraviolet rays and weathering. Through the optimised L²-filming process, the tightly-bound molecules prevent the tile from weathering and fading.

The ultra-solid finish has been tested by the Monier Technical Centres with the European Standard QUV test, a test simulating ten years of extreme sunshine and rainfall. After being exposed to such extreme conditions, the tiles showed amazingly little colour variations. Monier Roofing is worldwide experts in roofing and in acrylic coating techniques in particular.

The durability and colour intensity of their acrylic coatings has withstood extreme heat and sun exposure in climates such as Malaysia and Indonesia, making the tiles well-suited for the sun extreme conditions of South Africa.
