Featured at the Architect 2023 Exhibition, which was held recently at the BMICH by the Sri Lanka Institute of Architects, Colorup Roof Tiles is a novel range of aesthetic and technologically advanced roofing products that helps consumers overcome challenges often faced when using other roofing tiles.

Colorup is a manufacturer of a range of coloured cement roofing and ceiling products, and its products are manufactured in South East Asia’s largest and most sophisticated manufacturing plant, featuring Italian and Swiss technology.

Colorup Chief Operating Officer Indika Rajapaksha said: “It’s a great achievement for us to be able to bring this revolutionary new roofing product to the market.

The unique ‘S’ shape of our Roofing tiles provides numerous benefits and addresses many challenges that consumers and builders face when tiling roofs. They are also lightweight, compared to alternative roofing tiles in the market, while also being very strong, and able to withstand any weather condition. We look forward to continuing to innovate and provide consumers and Sri Lanka’s construction industry with world-class products fit for modern architecture.”

Colorup roof tiles also feature a solar-resistant layer, making them last longer, while also being waterproof and non-absorbent, ensuring no excess weight is retained on the roof in wet weather.

The tiles also come with a 5-year guarantee on the colour coating, and their unique “S’’ shape allows for efficient interlocking, ensuring no movement due to animal activity and strong winds, while also preventing leaks.

Fire resistant too, Colorup roof tiles provide the lowest weight, and highest strength and safety, at the best value. In addition to each tile weighing less, it reduces rafter requirements, further helping to minimise costs on the roof structure. Packaged in easy to handle 5-tiles packs, Colorup roofing tiles are also easy to transport and store with minimal risk of damage.

Colorup roof tiles is the latest product from the company, while its Colorup corrugated sheets were launched in 2007, and its wooden-finished strip ceilings were released to market in 2020 – Colorup Strip Ceilings too addressed the challenges faced by consumers when trying to find wooden ceilings that use high quality wood – the product is also fire and rot resistant and will not be attacked by termites, unlike traditional wooden ceilings, and is manufactured with a focus on sustainability to ensure minimal impact on the environment.

These achievements resulted in Colorup Strip Ceilings winning an Architect Product Award from the Sri Lanka Institute of Architects in 2021.
