Glaze Coat Application in Como

Como's riverside humidity and dense tree canopy mean moss and lichen grow aggressively, especially on south-facing shaded slopes. A glaze coat is the clear or lightly tinted seal we apply to clean terracotta to protect the surface and slow organic growth. It's not magic, but it stops water penetration and makes moss easier to manage while the roof keeps its natural fired colour. We use TerraGlaze, which bonds well to aged terracotta and carries its own product warranty, not the 15-year Dulux warranty (that one's for the Acratex membrane system on a full restoration). In Como's relentless humidity, this coating genuinely helps and typically holds for around 5 to 10 years. It won't stop moss completely, but it extends the time between cleanings.

The final glaze coat applied after cleaning and repairs is what protects Como's terracotta from river humidity and salt-laden air. We use TerraGlaze, which bonds to cleaned tile and lets it breathe, letting trapped moisture escape while blocking new water entry. It's a clear or lightly tinted seal, not a solid paint colour — Heritage Red or Woodland Grey are Dulux Acratex options for concrete tile in a full restoration, a different product and job. The application process includes inspection and preparation specific to tile age and condition.

Local Como Expertise

Como stretches along the southern bank of the Canning River just 6km from Perth CBD, making it one of Perth's most accessible riverside suburbs. Subdivided as the Como Estate in 1905, the area's housing tells the story of decades of riverside growth - Federation and interwar character homes from the 1920s and 1930s, solid brick-and-tile homes from the 1950s-1970s, and pockets of 1990s infill development where original homes were subdivided. Towering river red gums, swamp paperbarks, and mature jacarandas form a dense canopy across the suburb, creating beautiful but challenging conditions for roofs. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored hundreds of roofs across Como, Manning, and Salter Point with 15+ years of team experience, with particular expertise in the older terracotta and concrete tile systems that define this riverside suburb.

The result: Restored roofs engineered to handle Como's high humidity, heavy leaf load, and diverse housing ages - protected by Dulux Acratex coatings with 15-year manufacturer warranty.
