Why Choose Us for Glaze Coat Application in Melville?
We apply Dulux Acratex membrane coating over your entire roof surface after cleaning and any tile or metal work is done. This coating bonds to concrete tiles or metal and flexes with temperature changes, stopping cracks and keeping water out. On Melville's older tile roofs especially, this seals those porous tiles and stops moisture creeping up from below. The coating comes in colours that suit the street. Woodland Grey, Jasper, or Pale Eucalypt are common choices in Melville. It protects against river humidity and Perth's UV for 15 years, backed by Dulux warranty.
A glaze coat adds extra weather protection to Melville's original concrete tile roofs, sitting between light cleaning and full restoration. It works well for homes where the tile itself is still sound but the surface is chalked or starting to feel porous. River humidity means coatings here need to breathe properly. Glaze applied by our team fills microscopic cracks and extends tile life five to eight years.

Benefits of Glaze Coat Application for Melville 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. The application carries our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Our Glaze Coat Application Process in Melville
- 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 glaze coat as effective as a full Acratex restoration? ▾
No. Glaze coat protects against further chalking and minor moisture, but doesn't address broken tiles or crumbled mortar. It's a step up from cleaning alone for tiles still in fair condition, but won't solve structural issues.
How long does a glaze coat last on a Melville roof? ▾
Typically five to eight years depending on exposure. South-facing slopes and shaded areas respond differently. A glaze coat buys time while you plan full restoration later, or suits homes where tiles are still holding up well.
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. The glaze application carries our 12-month workmanship guarantee, and we'll set out exactly what's covered before you go ahead.
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.
