Why Choose Us for Glaze Coat Application in Maylands?
The glaze coat is the final protection layer on Maylands' terracotta roofs. After cleaning and repointing, we apply TerraGlaze, either clear to show the natural terracotta colour or lightly tinted, that sits on the tile surface and keeps water running off instead of soaking in. This is a different product to the Dulux Acratex membrane used on concrete tile in a full restoration — it carries its own product warranty and our 12-month workmanship guarantee on prep, repointing and tile work, not the restoration system's 15-year Dulux warranty. Heritage terracotta homes benefit particularly well from the clear coat because you see the original tile texture and patina underneath. The seal stops algae growth and helps water shed off the surface. This finish typically lasts around 5 to 10 years against Maylands' river humidity and makes the next cleaning easier when the time comes.
Maylands' heritage terracotta tiles are mostly 70-100 years old and their original natural glaze has dulled over decades of weather exposure. A clear or tinted TerraGlaze coating enhances the fired terracotta colour, deepens it slightly, and adds a protective seal. This approach preserves the character look while adding around 5 to 10 years of water resistance, without the appearance of a heavy paint system.

Local Maylands Expertise
Maylands has transformed from a quiet inner suburb into one of Perth's trendiest neighbourhoods, where beautifully restored 1920s-1950s character bungalows sit alongside sleek modern infill townhouses. Located just 3km northeast of the CBD along a sweeping bend of the Swan River, Maylands' riverside position creates elevated humidity that accelerates moss growth and mortar deterioration on the suburb's many aging terracotta roofs. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored hundreds of roofs across Maylands, Bayswater, and Inglewood with 15+ years of team experience, specialising in the heritage terracotta tiles and character-home roofing that define this inner riverside suburb.
Benefits of Glaze Coat Application for Maylands 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 Maylands
- 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 Maylands - FAQs

Will a glaze coat change the colour of my old red terracotta tiles? ▾
A clear coat protects without darkening. A tinted glaze can deepen the terracotta warmth slightly, enhancing how the tiles catch light. We show samples before application. Either way, the effect looks natural, not painted. Most Maylands homeowners prefer the subtle enhancement.
How long does a glaze coat actually last on these old tiles? ▾
Typically 5 to 10 years with the TerraGlaze system we use. Riverside humidity and moss growth will still happen, but slower. It carries its own product warranty and our 12-month workmanship guarantee on prep and repointing, not the 15-year Dulux warranty, which applies 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.
