West Beach Beauty

When Alexey and Milana Vikhlyaev were designing their dream home in West Beach, South Australia, they were looking for a roof tile that would compliment both the clean modern lines of the house design and the more traditional rendered and corbelled columns that make the facade reminiscent of a Georgian manor. Alexey tells us that “Boral’s flat Linea™ Onyx roof tile helped to achieve a balance between the traditional and contemporary elements of the house design”, making he and his wife very happy with their choice – and making the home a stand out in the laid back seaside setting of West Beach.

Likewise, Mark Dell, Sales and Marketing Manager at Boral Roofing is understandably proud of Boral’s beautiful roof tile. He says, “Being able to help home owners with a vision for their home by supplying a superior product like the Linea™ concrete roof tile, backed by Boral’s 20 year product warranty, is very satisfying.”  

The enduring strength of the concrete Linea™ tile was another plus for the owners, with Alexey saying they were very happy to know they had “a tile that would not need to be constantly repainted”. In conjunction with other properties of the tile like its resistance to frost, its salt-safe quality and its wind resistance, it seems it was the perfect choice for a property close to the sea. 

Boral’s Concrete Tiles are available in four profiles and a range of colours, however the Linea™ is made exclusively in the Onyx “colour through” meaning that in the unlikely event that a tile did chip, the colour would be the same through the entire tile minimising any aesthetic problem. 

Mark Dell further explains that the roof on this beautiful home at West Beach achieves its “integrated look” by pairing Boral’s Standard Ridge capping system with the sleek Linea™ tile. He says, “Boral works very hard to produce quality roof tiles, and ensure that they can be laid in a way that allows the tiles to shine.”

Boral’s Linea™ tile in Onyx certainly shines on this project, making this West Beach home the envy of the neighbourhood.
