Why Choose Us for Glaze Coat Application in Atwell?
A glaze coat is the terracotta-only alternative to full restoration — it's not something we put on concrete tile or metal. In Atwell, where most homes are 20-30 years old, a handful still carry original terracotta that's faded or chalking but structurally sound, and glazing brings that back without painting over it. It's a smart middle option for a terracotta roof between doing nothing and full restoration. We use TerraGlaze, which holds up well to Atwell's UV and moisture conditions. If the tiles are sound and unbroken, a glaze can buy you 5 to 10 more years and keep the natural terracotta look. It won't fix ground movement cracks or broken tiles, and it won't touch a concrete tile roof, so we assess properly first.
A glaze coat is a thin, clear or lightly tinted protective seal applied to existing terracotta, without stripping or full restoration. In Atwell, where most homes are 20-30 years old, glazing works well on original terracotta that still has structural integrity but shows fading or early chalking. It's not suitable for roofs with active moss growth or failed pointing, and it isn't an option on Colorbond, but on sound terracotta it extends the tile's life for 5 to 10 years at a lower cost than full restoration.

Local Atwell Expertise
Atwell is one of the City of Cockburn's most established southern suburbs, developed primarily through the 1990s and 2000s. Located 22km south of Perth CBD, its proximity to the Beeliar Regional Park wetlands introduces persistent moisture, while the heavy clay soils throughout the area cause ground movement that shifts roof structures and cracks mortar. With minimal mature tree cover on many streets, roofs cop relentless UV exposure through Perth's long summers. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored roofs across Atwell and surrounding suburbs with 15+ years of team experience, specialising in the specific wear patterns found on 20-30 year old homes in this part of the southern corridor.

Benefits of Glaze Coat Application for Atwell Properties
Keeps the natural terracotta look
A glaze is a clear or lightly tinted seal that revives the fired terracotta colour and sheen. It refreshes the roof without burying it under the opaque paint that hides what terracotta actually is.
UV-stabilised seal for the Perth sun
TerraGlaze is built to take the UV that fades and dries out bare terracotta, and it seals the porous tile surface so it sheds water and grime instead of soaking it up.
The terracotta alternative to painting
For terracotta that's faded but structurally sound, glazing brings it back without committing you to a painted colour, or to the repainting that painted terracotta eventually needs.
Prepped and applied properly
The roof is cleaned, any cracked or chipped tiles are repaired, then the glaze goes on evenly across the surface. Our 12-month workmanship guarantee covers the repointing and tile work done with it; coating application sits outside it, and the coating itself is covered by its own product warranty.
Our Glaze Coat Application Process in Atwell
- 1
Check the tiles are suitable
We inspect the terracotta to confirm it's sound enough to glaze, and flag anything that needs repair first.
Why it matters: Glazing is for tiles that are weathered, not broken.
- 2
Clean the roof back
The tiles are cleaned to strip dirt, moss and surface growth so the glaze meets bare terracotta.
Why it matters: A glaze only bonds to a clean tile surface.
- 3
Repair cracked and chipped tiles
Damaged tiles are repaired or replaced before any glaze is applied.
Why it matters: A glaze seals the surface, it doesn't hold a broken tile together.
- 4
Apply the glaze and let it cure
TerraGlaze is applied evenly across the roof and left to cure to the product spec, then the finished coat is checked for full, even coverage.
Why it matters: Even coverage and a proper cure are what make the seal last.

Is a glaze coat a good option for my Colorbond roof in Atwell? ▾
No — glazing is a terracotta-only treatment. Atwell's Colorbond roofs from the 1990s-2000s need a metal roof coating or restoration instead. We assess and recommend the right option for your specific roof and roof type.
How long will a glaze coat last? ▾
On well-prepared terracotta in Perth conditions, glaze typically lasts 5 to 10 years. Atwell's high UV exposure and thermal cycling can push that toward the shorter end. It's a maintenance refresh, not a permanent solution, so a further glaze or a full restoration follows once it's due.
What's the difference between glazing and painting a roof? ▾
A glaze is a clear or lightly tinted seal that keeps the natural terracotta look and protects the tile. Paint is an opaque coat that changes the colour and covers the terracotta entirely. If you want to keep your roof looking like terracotta, glazing is the option; if you want a different colour, that's roof painting.
Should I glaze or paint my terracotta roof? ▾
If the tiles are sound and you like the terracotta look but it's faded, glazing refreshes and seals it without changing the character of the roof. Painting makes sense when you want a different colour. We'll look at your roof and tell you honestly which suits it.
How long does a glaze coat last? ▾
Typically around 5 to 10 years in Perth conditions, depending on the roof's exposure and how it's looked after. It's a maintenance coating, so it refreshes the surface rather than re-roofing it.
Is the glaze coating covered by the 15-year Dulux warranty? ▾
No. The 15-year Dulux warranty applies to the Dulux Acratex membrane system used on a full roof restoration, not to a glaze coat, which is a different product. We'll set out in writing exactly what's covered before you go ahead — our 12-month workmanship guarantee covers repointing, rebedding, tile replacement and leak repairs, and coating application sits outside it.
Will glazing fix a leaking roof? ▾
No. A glaze seals and protects the tile surface, it doesn't stop a leak. Leaks come from cracked tiles, failed pointing or flashing, and they need repairing first. We'll sort any of that before glazing.
Can the glaze be tinted? ▾
It can be left clear to keep the existing colour, or lightly tinted to even out and lift a faded roof. We'll talk through the finish based on what your terracotta looks like now.
