Concrete Tile
Roof Sealing
Protecting and Extending the Life of Your Tile Roof
Concrete tile roofs are durable — but they are not maintenance-free.
Over time, moisture absorption, freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and organic growth contribute to gradual surface wear.
Professional sealing helps protect the tile structure and extend long-term performance.
At Shiny Power Wash, we offer two proven sealing systems tailored to your roof’s condition and goals.
Water Is the Main Cause of Tile Deterioration
Concrete tiles are naturally porous. In Vancouver’s wet climate, they repeatedly absorb moisture.
When trapped water expands and contracts with temperature changes, it gradually weakens the tile surface and increases maintenance needs.
A clean tile roof improves appearance — but appearance alone does not determine long-term durability.
True protection comes from limiting water absorption at the material level.
What Is Concrete Tile Roof Sealing?
Our process typically includes:
✔ Deep cleaning
✔ Minor repairs where needed
✔ Application of either penetrating siloxane or coloured coating
The goal is simple: reduce water intrusion, protect the tile structure, and extend service life.
All concrete tile roof sealing services include a 5-Year Leak-Free Warranty
Why Sealing Tile Roofs
Sealing may help:
✔ Extend tile service life (by 10 to 15 years)
✔ Reduce water absorption
✔ Slower tile deterioration (sand loss)
✔ Lower cracking risk
✔ Minimize moss and organic growth
✔ Improve long-term durability
✔ Refresh overall appearance (where applicable)

Our Sealing Systems
We offer two professional systems depending on your roof’s condition and goals.
Penetrating Siloxane Sealer
For most concrete tile roofs in structurally sound condition, we recommend a commercial-grade penetrating siloxane sealer manufactured locally in British Columbia by Innovative Manufacturing.
This system penetrates below the surface of the concrete tile and reduces water absorption while allowing vapor to escape. Unlike surface coatings, it does not form a visible film.
Benefits:
✔ Deep penetration into tile
✔ Breathable protection
✔ No visible surface layer
✔ Maintains natural tile appearance
✔ Reduced moisture-related deterioration
✔ Manufactured locally in BC
✔ Efficient and cost-effective application
Best suited for:
Roofs in good structural condition where protection and longevity are the priority.
Sherwin-Williams Coloured Coating
For older or significantly faded concrete tile roofs, we also offer a commercial-grade Sherwin-Williams coloured coating system.
This system:
✔ Provides uniform refreshed appearance
✔ Restores color consistency
✔ Adds surface-level protection
✔ Enhances curb appeal
Best suited for:
Roofs where cosmetic restoration is a primary objective.
Choosing the Right System
Every roof is different.
We perform an on-site assessment before recommending a sealing approach.
Our goal is simple:
Apply the system that best matches your roof’s condition — not the most expensive option.
Thinking about replacing your old concrete tile roof?
Before committing to full replacement, consider whether professional sealing may be a practical alternative.
Retain the Value of a Premium Roof
Concrete tile is considered a premium roofing system and typically adds more value to a home than lower-cost roofing materials.
If the underlying structure is still sound, preserving it often makes more financial sense than replacing it unnecessarily.
Don’t Waste Years of Remaining Roof Life
Concrete tile roofs are designed for long service life — often around 50 years with proper maintenance.
In many cases, deterioration affects the surface before the structural system has reached the end of its lifespan.
Restore at a Fraction of Replacement Cost
Sealing typically costs a small fraction of full roof replacement — often in the range of 10–20%, depending on roof condition and system selected.
If a roof is showing more advanced surface wear and homeowners are considering replacement, a coloured coating system may be an appropriate alternative — subject to on-site evaluation.
*** Our Concrete Tile Roof Restoration service is only available to the concrete tile roofs we cleaned during the past three years because this work can only be done on a cleaner roof. If you have a mossy roof and want it restored, we can remove most of the moss and kill the remained this year, let the dead moss slowly deteriorate, and wash and restore the roof next year. In this way, there will be no high pressure introduced to your roof.
