FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A sales rep has told me that "The tiles are porous and is holding too much weight for the roof trusses to bear" - Is this true?
No. Roof tiles have a low water absorption rate and are designed to resist water absorption. In Australia, most of the roof tiles are non-porous and have water absorption rate under 5%. This means that if a dry tile is fully immersed in water, it should not absorb more than 5% of its own weight in water.
