Do Resin Tiles Age? What to Do If They Do?

Everything ages over time, and resin tiles are no exception. However, the extent of aging varies depending on the material of the resin tiles.

Often, we receive messages from users asking, “Why do some synthetic resin tiles last for decades, while others start aging, cracking, and leaking after just a few years?” The crucial factor here is the quality of the raw materials used in the synthetic resin tiles.

Exposure to sunlight can cause resin tiles to age, and different materials will age at different rates. Resin tiles made from inferior materials tend to age quickly, sometimes showing signs of aging and cracking within just a few months of installation. In contrast, high-quality resin tiles can last over five years without significant issues.

To maintain the aesthetic appeal of your roof, it is advisable to avoid brightly colored resin tiles and instead choose colors that do not show significant changes over time, such as slate gray. If you notice that your resin tiles are aging, it is important to replace them promptly.

When purchasing synthetic resin tiles, it is crucial to thoroughly understand the product information, quality, brand, and manufacturer. Additionally, it is important to investigate the manufacturer’s credentials, expertise, successful application cases, and after-sales service comprehensively. This ensures that you purchase high-quality and reasonably priced resin tile products.
