Unicrete Roof Tile Product Limited Warranty
At Unicrete, we pride ourselves upon our straightforward warranty. Unlike other manufacturers, we offer a fully transferable, non-prorated limited warranty.
Many warranties are merely a marketing tool designed to grab the attention of the consumer. These days it seems as if even lower-end roofing products come with a 25-year warranty. The standard for high-end roof covering has become a 50-year warranty. Does this mean that after a certain price point, all roofing materials will last 50 years? Certainly not. Upon closer inspection, most warranties seem generous for the first third of the warranty period, but given that it is very unlikely for any product to fail in the first half, companies are not necessarily truly backing their products. Where most warranties fall short is during the second half of coverage. At the halfway point, a homeowner is lucky to have half of their warranty's value remaining and likely to have as little as 20% remaining. By the last day of warranty coverage, most manufacturers' warranties will only pay out 4-5% of the initial material cost. With Unicrete concrete roof tile, the cost of materials is completely covered for the full 50 years.
Another factor to consider is transferability. Many warranties are non-transferable, which means that if a house changes ownership, the warranty becomes void-even if the roof is only a few years old. Other companies will allow one subsequent owner to hold the warranty, but the transfer process is often restricted, complicated and virtually never free. Unicrete's warranty is transferable to unlimited subsequent owners and though registration is required, there is no fee for the transfer.
Many products that are still new enough to be considered experimental boast of having a 50-year product. Concrete roof tile has been the roofing material of choice in Europe and much of the United States for over a century. Unicrete has been manufacturing concrete roof tile for over 30 years.
