Upgrade to a Stronger, Smarter Roof
Tile roofs are heavy, porous, and prone to cracking, especially in storm-prone areas or ageing homes. Tin roofing — typically made from high-quality metal like Colorbond — offers a long-term solution that reduces structural strain, lowers ongoing maintenance, and resists mould, leaks, and rust. It’s also fire-resistant and thermally efficient, helping reduce cooling costs in summer. During a tile-to-tin conversion, all old materials are safely removed, and the new roof is installed with modern fixings and finishes to meet Australian safety standards.
Apex Roofing Group ensures every conversion is completed with attention to detail, site safety, and lasting results. We customise every roof to suit the property’s shape, design, and colour preferences, and we’re fully licensed and insured.
- Fire-resistant and storm-tough
- Lower maintenance and repair costs
- Range of styles and colour options

Why switch from tile-to-tin roofing?
Switching from tile to tin roofing offers several benefits, especially for homeowners in areas with heavy rain, strong winds, or bushfire risk. Tin (metal) roofs are significantly lighter than tiled roofs, which reduces the structural load on your home and can help extend the life of your property’s frame. Metal roofing also offers better weather resistance, is less prone to leaks, and requires less maintenance over time. Unlike tiles, which can crack or shift with age, metal roofs remain stable and secure. Additionally, tin roofing is available in a variety of modern colours and profiles, giving homes a sleek, contemporary appearance while improving water runoff and fire resistance.
Is it safe to remove tile roofing and replace it with tin?
Yes, replacing tile roofing with tin is safe when carried out by licensed professionals. The process involves careful removal of all roof tiles and underlay, inspection of the roof structure, and reinforcement if needed before the new metal roofing is installed. Safety standards require edge protection, harnessing, and fall prevention systems to be in place during the job. In some cases, roof frames may require minor modifications to accommodate the lighter weight and different fixing system of tin roofing. Once installed, the metal roof is secured with modern fixings designed to withstand harsh Australian weather conditions, making it both safe and long-lasting.
Does changing from tile-to-tin affect insulation?
Metal roofs can perform just as well — or even better — than tile roofs when combined with proper insulation. While traditional tiles provide some natural thermal mass, they can absorb moisture and lose effectiveness over time. Metal roofing, on the other hand, reflects heat from the sun and helps reduce heat absorption. To maximise insulation performance, foil-backed sarking or thermal blankets are often installed beneath the tin roofing during conversion. These help reduce radiant heat transfer and keep interiors cooler in summer. Good insulation is essential for comfort and energy efficiency, so it’s important to ensure your installer includes it as part of the conversion process.
