Terracotta Roof Tiles

Terracotta roof tiles have proven they can stand the test of time. They are a strong tile which can last years and years and withstand most weather conditions.


Glazed or unglazed, terracotta tiles generally come in three standard colours – orange, red orange and brown. Although these colours bring a Mediterranean look to you home, over time they can fade and harsh weather can affect the look of the tiles.


Give Your Home a New Look

You may think that having a terracotta roof can only ever provide one look. However, with a roof restoration from JMZ, your home can appear brand new again. We can restore the appearance with the application of a Clear Glaze Membrane Coating that will enhance the look of each tile (providing it’s not glazed). You’ll be reminded of the Italy summers again in no time!


Or, if you are wanting to change it up, you can opt for a Colour Membrane Coating from the Globalcote or Colourbond colour range of roof coatings. With over 50 colour options to choose from, you are sure to find the one to suit the style of your house. Have a look at our range of colours here.

What Are the Best Roof Colours for Ipswich Homes?

By Rebecca JMZ • March 6, 2026
Choosing a roof colour isn’t just about what looks good. In Ipswich, it can also impact how hot your home gets, how long the coating lasts, and how well your roof handles storm season. So how do you pick the right colour — one that’s both beautiful and practical? Understanding Ipswich’s Climate and Its Impact on Colour Ipswich homes face a mix of harsh elements: Intense sunlight and UV radiation High summer heat - Seasonal storms and heavy rain Airborne dust and debris Dark roofs tend to absorb more heat, which can raise internal temperatures. They also fade faster under UV exposure. Lighter roofs reflect more sunlight, keeping your home cooler and helping the coating last longer. Popular Roof Colours in Ipswich Globalcote colour options for Ipswich homeowners: Surfmist: Bright, clean, and one of the highest for heat reflection Shale Grey: Modern and versatile with good solar performance Evening Haze: Soft and neutral with broad street appeal Dune: An earthy tone that blends well with older and newer homes Windspray: Subtle and stylish, suitable for various house styles All these colours are available in Globalcote’s Infracote (heat reflective) and Elastacote (flexible membrane) roof coating systems.
