Why Choose Us for Glaze Coat Application in Ferndale?
Once your terracotta roof's cleaned and repaired but lost its natural glaze, we apply TerraGlaze to seal the surface against Ferndale's aggressive moss and organic growth. It has anti-fungal properties to slow the 18-24 month moss regrowth cycle, and it bonds to clean tile as a protective skin that resists water and spore attachment while keeping the fired colour visible. A good glaze adds years to a terracotta roof without replacement, and carries its own product warranty rather than the 15-year Dulux warranty that applies to the Acratex restoration system on concrete tile or metal. In Ferndale's humid, shaded conditions, glazing terracotta typically holds for around 5 to 10 years and is the difference between cleaning every two years or every three.
The high-moisture river corridor means bare terracotta doesn't hold up long in Ferndale. We use TerraGlaze with anti-fungal properties specifically because this suburb's moss regrows within 18 to 24 months of cleaning. The glaze bonds to treated terracotta and holds up against persistent humidity while keeping the tile's natural fired colour. Without a seal, you're looking at more frequent cleaning instead of several years between treatments.

Local Ferndale Expertise
Ferndale occupies a distinctive position 13km south of Perth CBD, nestled into a bend of the Canning River with water on its northern and eastern boundaries. The suburb is one of Perth's most naturally bushy residential areas - mature jarrah, marri, and flooded gum trees form a dense canopy that gives Ferndale a semi-rural feel despite its suburban location. Developed during the late 1960s and 1970s, Ferndale's brick-and-tile homes sit on generous blocks that have had over five decades to become established garden havens, complete with the wildlife that comes with river-corridor bushland. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored hundreds of roofs across Ferndale, Riverton, and Shelley with 15+ years of team experience, with particular expertise in managing the unique combination of heavy native tree canopy, riverside humidity, and persistent wildlife challenges that define Ferndale's roofing environment.
The result: Restored roofs designed for Ferndale's bushland-meets-river conditions - biocide-treated surfaces, heavy-duty repointing, and Dulux Acratex coatings that resist the suburb's aggressive organic growth cycle, backed by 15-year manufacturer warranty.

Benefits of Glaze Coat Application for Ferndale 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 Ferndale
- 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.
Glaze Coat Application in Ferndale - FAQs
Do you provide glaze coat application in Ferndale? ▾
Yes. Roof Restorers Perth provides glaze coat application across Ferndale and nearby Meadow Springs, Bassendean, Gosnells. Roof restoration in Ferndale for bushy riverside blocks. Moss treatment, repointing and Dulux Acratex coatings, 15-year warranty. Free quotes. Call 6388 4492 for a free, no-obligation quote.
Why is anti-fungal glaze so important in Ferndale? ▾
River humidity and tree shade create ideal moss conditions. Bare terracotta lets regrowth happen fast. TerraGlaze's anti-fungal properties slow that cycle significantly. You'll get more years between cleanings instead of seasons.
How long does a glaze coat last on my Ferndale roof? ▾
Typically 5 to 10 years, with Ferndale's harsh humid conditions tending to push that toward the shorter end. It's covered by its own product warranty rather than a 15-year Dulux warranty, which applies only to the Acratex restoration system on concrete tile.
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.
