The world-class Harvey tile factory, based at Brakpan in South Africa, maintains high product standards and is one of the largest of its kind.
Strong on design
The unique overlapping system and fixing technique provide a leak-proof roof and a form of burglar proofing.
Versatile
Harvey tiles are adaptable, they can be used for re-roofing, easily turning your house into a prize home in just 2 or 3 days. Often Harvey tiles can be placed on top of the old roof.
Durable
Through on-going research, the acrylic coating which was developed in 1970 can withstand high ultraviolet levels and the most adverse weather conditions. The small stone granules bonded to the tile surface results in a robust finish which is unaffected by extensive weathering such as gale-force winds, pelting rain and hailstorms.
Maintenance-free
The tiled roof is maintenance-free with no inconvenience of fixing leaks, repairing broken tiles or repainting jobs.
Strong on savings
Ordinary concrete or clay tiles weigh up to eight times more than Harvey tiles. Use Harvey tiles and you save up to 40% on the wooden construction components of the roof.
