When it comes to roof restoration products, few names carry as much weight in Australia as Monier. Since 1919, Monier has been manufacturing roof tiles and developing restoration products specifically for Australian conditions.
If your home has a tiled roof—especially Monier tiles—their restoration system offers the peace of mind that comes from using products designed by the people who made the tiles in the first place.
Why Monier? 100+ Years of Australian Roofing
Monier isn't just a brand—it's an Australian roofing institution. They introduced concrete roof tiles to Australia in 1919 and have been refining their products ever since. Today, a significant portion of Sydney's tiled roofs are Monier tiles.
This deep experience means Monier understands what Australian roofs need. Their restoration products are formulated to withstand our harsh UV exposure, temperature extremes, and coastal conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Monier roof restoration system?
Monier's roof restoration system is a complete range of products specifically designed for restoring tiled roofs—particularly Monier's own concrete and terracotta tiles. The system includes primers, paints, bedding compounds, and flexible pointing.
Is Monier only for Monier tiles?
While Monier products are designed to perfectly match and protect Monier tiles, they're suitable for most concrete and terracotta tiles from any manufacturer. The quality formulation works well on all compatible tile types.

Both are quality systems. Dulux Acratex is a membrane system (thicker, more waterproofing-focused) while Monier offers traditional high-quality roof paint. Monier is ideal when colour matching to existing Monier tiles, while Acratex excels when maximum waterproofing is the priority.
How long does a Monier restoration last?
A properly applied Monier restoration can last 10-15 years. Eligible Monier products can include a 10-year product warranty, with the applicable terms confirmed before work.
How much does a Monier restoration cost?
