Damage Caused by UV Rays, Humidity, and Debris Can Ruin a Terracotta Roof
Applying protective glaze to a terracotta roof not only makes your roof look like new, it also helps seal up cracks, crevices, and other damage caused by the elements. This increases the lifespan of your roof and provides an added layer of protection from the weather, protecting the fragile clay tiles beneath.
If your terracotta roof tiles are left untreated you could be looking at a hefty repair bill due to leaks and water damage. Leaks put your roof, your home, and your family at risk as they often go unnoticed for a long time and cause extensive damage to homes and property. In Melbourne’s crazy climate, a damaged roof could be one bad storm away from an expensive repair bill.

While glazing your roof can make your home look nicer, it also provides a lot of protection to tiles damaged by UV exposure and the elements. Here are some signs your terracotta roof may need a coat of protective glaze:

- Water leaks or damp ceilings

How is Terracotta Roof Glazing Done in Melbourne?
The process for glazing a terracotta roof is pretty straightforward, but if not done properly, your roof glaze won’t last for more than a few years.
Terracotta is a porous material, so special care and preparation is required:
- Start with a thorough pressure cleaning to remove any dirt, moss, lichen, or other debris.
- Repair any damaged tiles.
- Apply the protective glaze to help the tiles resist UV damage and prevent the growth of moss and lichen.

Terracotta Roof Glazing FAQs
If your terracotta roof paint is applied properly using a high quality UV-stable glaze, the glaze can last for 10-15 years in Melbourne. Of course you’ll see some variation depending on how much sun your roof gets and whether or not your roof was properly cleaned and treated before glazing.
Yes, you can but we typically recommend sticking to a clear glaze. Changing the roof colour by painting can have issues with paint adhesion and may not stand the test of time.
Typically, no. You don’t need council approval if you’re only glazing. (You would, however, if you were structurally altering the roof.) One exception to this is if you are in a Heritage Overlay area. In that case you may need a permit. If you are unsure, it’s usually best to check with your local council first.
