Roofing tiles & systems
for the local market Marley Roofing supplies the South African building industry with a tile selection that includes the well-known Designer Range, the M22 Coating System, a variety of clay tiles and the specially developed Ekonoroof solutions.
Marley won the CMA award in the residential category in 2008.
Since the company’s inception in 1971, the company has undergone many changes in producing quality roof tiles. There are currently four manufacturing facilities and five Marley Roofing distribution centres strategically situated across South Africa. The company has also continuously ploughed back their years of experience into the tile manufacturing processes to ensure that their products are as fit-for-purpose as possible. Certified quality Marley believes that quality roofing does not have to equal a premium price. The Ekonoroof package, which has set a benchmark for quality roofing of low-cost housing, has been supplied to various government housing projects. The custom-design solution incorporates the CMA Roofing System certified by Agrement South Africa and accepted by the National Home Builders’ Registration Council. According to Marley, the estimated cost saving of the roofing system is approximately 20% when compared to standard timber trusses and it is the most cost-effective roofing system for a domestic double-pitch roof using concrete floor tiles. All the roofing products that are manufactured exceed the relevant SABS specifications and the company was also instrumental in

assisting the SABS to increase their standard with certain tile profiles. Profiles, colours and tile ranges Marley recognises that each builder, designer or architect has their own set of site specifications as well as personal preferences when it comes to choosing roofing products. The widest range of tile profiles (shapes), ranging from bold curves to fatter, more streamlined profiles, are available in a vast range of colours. Marley has also designed the colour of their tiles to work in unison so that builders have the flexibility of designing a contemporary roof that consists of more than one colour. Their Designer Range collection lends aesthetic appeal to the traditional Marley strength and quality. Marley is actively involved in helping customers solve on-site problems and their goal is to partner with their customers and not only be seen as a supplier.
