Cost of tile roof per square meter

In this section our main topic is "tiles: price per square meter", as this way we can easily get a direct calculation of the cost. What does this mean? That a builder knowing the tile cost per square meter will be able to choose roof tiles based on his budget and manage the project properly, without any unpleasant surprises along the way.

As for the Alma tile of Maliouris Group here are approximately 9 to 10 roof tiles per square meter (depending on the slope of the roof), while each pallet contains a total of 210 pieces. It should also be mentioned that in roof tiles the prices per square meter are determined by various factors. Let's take a closer look at what these are and why they affect the price:

Quantity

Due to their size (33cm width x 42cm length) it has been found that fewer Alma tiles are placed per square meter in a structure which means that the cost of the tile roof per square meter is reduced.

Moreover, in tiles the prices per square meter are also reduced significantly depending on the size of the order. A larger order means a better price. Furthermore, it should be mentioned here that the dimensions are the same in both types of tiles of Maliouris Group, the Alma roof tile and the Alma roof tile Trieste, while the weight of each piece is 4 kg.  

Colour

In roof tiles the prices per square meter also depend on the colour. There are colours that are more rare and considered more expensive, such as blue and green, while other colours such as brick red or red, which are also used in a very large percentage of constructions, are more economical.

Therefore, the cost of a tiled roof per square meter also depends on the colour chosen by each owner or builder. Specifically, Alma roof tile is available in a wide variety of colours, including red, brick red, blue, charcoal grey, brown, green, burgundy, rose, gray, ochre, beige and black.

Quality

The better the quality of a tile, the greater its resistance to the passing of time and weather conditions. High quality roof tiles may have a higher price per square meter than medium quality tiles, but in the long term the cost is paid off.

In particular, the tiles of Maliouris Group show excellent resistance to extreme weather conditions, with the result of significantly reducing the cost of subsequent maintenance.

Ease of use

The roof tiles of Maliouris Group stand out for their symmetry, which makes them particularly easy to install and requires fewer man-hours. Therefore, the price per square meter of the tiles is also determined by the ease of use. Easier installation means less labour and the cost of the tile roof per square meter is also reduced in this case. 

Tips to choose the right tiles per square meter

Taking all the above into consideration, we see that in roof tiles the price per square meter depends on a number of factors. However, it is extremely important for any manufacturer to choose materials of excellent quality, such as Alma solid tiles, because they guarantee an excellent result with a long lifespan.

Below we will provide some useful tips for choosing the right tiles, in order to get the best possible result, to ensure a long lifetime in any construction, but also a healthy environment inside the building. The cost of a tiled roof per square meter is certainly a key factor in a construction, but there are other parameters to consider.

Climatic conditions

Choose roof tiles according to the climatic conditions of the area where you will build your home or business premises. Choosing Alma tile in an area with frequent rainfall ensures absolute watertightness, while in addition, these roof tiles have excellent resistance to extreme temperatures, but also to weather phenomena such as hail or frost. 

Less maintenance

Pay special attention to the maintenance that roof tiles may need over the years. Some tiles may have a higher price per square meter, but keep in mind that they will last more years and will not allow microorganisms and mold to grow.

Impact on the environment

It is extremely important to choose roof tiles with eco-friendly materials, which will ensure a healthy environment inside the building. Alma roof tiles are made from quartz sand, a 100% natural material and are painted with eco-friendly paints that are reflective to UV rays.

Right supplier

It is important to choose a supplier with a lot of experience and professionalism. The right professional will inform you about cost, quality and solve any questions you may have. At Maliouris Group we are always at your disposal, and in addition, the expertise we have acquired over the years allows us to create products with unique features and high quality.
