Why samples matter when choosing concrete roof tile

By The Coffee Shops ™.  

Providing roof tile samples is a key step to increase client satisfaction and helps them choose the right color. 

Selecting a new roof is a significant decision for any residential or commercial project. Like paint, pavers or window treatments, roofing materials should be reviewed in person before a final selection is made. Providing customers with samples gives them a clearer look at the final project, leading to higher customer satisfaction. 

When it comes to concrete roof tiles, samples are especially important because colorways can vary slightly from one production run to the next. This article from Eagle Roofing Products explains that their tiles are made from all-natural raw ingredients, including sand, cement, water and oxide. While brochures and website images are created to closely match the actual roof tile, printed materials and screen resolution can slightly alter how colors appear. Seeing a physical sample eliminates the guess work before placing an order. 

For reroofing projects, samples also make it easier to evaluate how a tile’s shade and profile pair with the existing exterior. Elements such as stucco, stonework, pavers and the overall color scheme of a structure can influence how the selected product is perceived. Having a sample on hand can help homeowners see the effect of all these elements together, reducing the possibility of buyer's remorse.  

Eagle Roofing Products offers several ways to obtain free concrete roof tile samples, including contacting a local Eagle account representative or submitting an online request. Having a selection of roofing tile samples available can help homeowners and building owners make informed decisions and make them feel involved in the roofing process. 

Customers can choose between a full-size sample or a compact slice box. Full-size samples show the exact tile size that will be installed on the roof deck, while slice boxes provide six portable tile slices that showcase selected hues. Samples are expected to arrive within about five business days.
