The Ener-Vent Roof Installation System maximizes energy efficiency by optimizing airflow under the roof tiles.

Benefits include:• Reduced ice-damming potential in the winter.• Energy efficiency through ventilation.• Reduced requirements for visible vents.

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory report for the U.S. Department of Energy concluded that:“Deck venting caused a significant 50% reduction in the heat penetrating the conditioned space compared to the direct-nailed asphalt shingle roof that is in direct contact with the roof deck...”

Concrete roof tile will not burn!

Concrete roof tile is the roofing material of choice in areas with higher risks of fire. Often fires will spread from rooftop to rooftop when winds blow embers from one house to the next.

Over 80% of Southern California roofing market is made up of non-combustible concrete and clay roof tile–largely due to fire safety concerns.

towards LeeD (Leadership in energy and environmental Design) certification, are gained through the use of Fly ash, a recycled material, and the

significant energy savings one can recognize from the ener-vent system.

Warranty and Proven PerformanceAt Unicrete, we pride ourselves upon our straightforward Warranty. Unlike other manufacturers, we offer a fully transferable, non-prorated warranty.

What makes unicrete’s warranty better than others?

These days it seems as if even lower-end roofing materials come with a 25-year warranty, with high-end products offering a 50-year warranty. However, upon closer inspection, most of these warranties are broken up into periods with different coverage for each period. By the end of most warranties, manufacturers will offer only 4-5% of the initial cost. Not Unicrete Products Ltd. You can rest assured that when you choose our roof tile we will cover 100% of the cost of the tile starting from day one lasting the full 50 years of our exceptional warranty.

Another factor to consider is transferability. Many warranties are non-transferable, which means that if a house changes ownership, the warranty becomes void—even if the roof is only a few years old. Other companies will allow one subsequent owner to hold the warranty, but the transfer process is often restricted, complicated and virtually never free. Unicrete’s warranty is transferable to unlimited subsequent owners and though registration is required, there is no fee for the transfer.

Warranty and Proven PerformanceMany products are still too new and should be considered experimental. Some boast of having a 50-year product warranty but have not been on the market long enough to historically back their warranty. Many found out the hard way with pine shakes and other new “promising” products that historically- demonstrated service life and the true test of time are the only real ways to determine any product’s expected service life. If a product has only been on the market for a small fraction of its warranty period, you are part of the experiment when you choose it.

Concrete roof tile has been the roofing material of choice in Europe and much of the United States for over a century. Unicrete has been manufacturing concrete roof tile since 1978 and we invite you to do your research on our product and our warranty.

as the cost of a concrete tile roof is comparable to that of high end cedar and less than that of metal, concrete is your best value. The lifespan of concrete tile widens the gap further still. concrete roofs have been known to last 80-100 years! When you consider the life cycle cost of concrete roof tile, it is the most economical choice. Life cycle costing considers the cost of a product per year it remains in service.

Depreciating items, such as roofing materials, should be amortized. The longer the expected lifespan, and the lower the maintenance costs, the lower the life cycle cost. The impact in the case of a condominium is that the related costs associated with the roof within the reserve fund can be deferred for up to 25 years or incrementally decreased on a yearly basis.
