Introduction

Your roof is your first line of defence against the elements — and in South Africa’s diverse climates, choosing the right roofing material can make all the difference. At Eco-Tide Management, we’ve delivered durable, high-quality roofing solutions for schools, commercial buildings, and homes across the Western Cape .

Popular Roofing Options

1. Metal Sheeting (IBR, Corrugated, Saflok)

   • Lightweight, durable, and ideal for quick installation.

   • Excellent for industrial, commercial, and residential projects.

   • Example: Our Tygerberg High School project featured 3,500m² of Saflok AZ200 sheeting with a 15-year warranty .

2. Clay or Concrete Tiles

   • Great insulation and a classic look.

   • Heavier and may require a stronger structure.

3. Slate Roofing

   • Long-lasting and elegant.

   • Higher installation cost but minimal maintenance.

4. Polycarbonate & Transparent Roofing

   • Allows natural light, perfect for patios and covered walkways.

Factors to Consider

• Climate: Coastal areas require corrosion-resistant materials.

• Maintenance: Some materials require more frequent inspections.

• Budget vs. Lifespan: Invest in quality now to save on repairs later.
