Roofing Tiles

Engobes are a mixture of minerals applied to a roof tile before glazing for decoration and to make the tile more weather resistant.

Imerys offers a wide variety of colors with either matt or brilliant finishes that enable consumers to customize their roof tiles, or even imitate the patina of old weathered roof tiles, which can take years to develop naturally.

Imerys has over 100 engobe references, each has been designed for a specific customer.

Our roof tile engobes properties include:

• Color stability through every production batch
• Precise control of the aspect and viscosity of liquid products
• Very high-grade long-lasting engobe ensuring against cracks and spots
