seconded, it’s truly revolting. I do like how the tiles accomodate a profane reliquary though, that’s not a feature you find very often in these Midland Brick jobs.

And those Monier cement roof tiles are only several years away from a Modern roof restoration.
It could be worse: matt black cement shingles. Fucking sweet insanity in one of the Earth’s sunniest locales. A telephoto image filled with a sea of these, utterly devoid of trees, climbing upon on outer suburban ridge would be something that’d destroy a part of the soul on sight.

I must agree re. the black roof syndrome.
It’s just another indicator of the inherent stupidity of the average human.
I had occasion to instruct a daughter of my own on the cost of energy that would be associated with them. The designer of her new house was completely unaware of this factor and, apart from not being fully conversant with the trade situation re. costs of installing the various roofing materials, did not even know of many of the alternatives available.
So much for professional advice.
LikeLike
at the risk of being a pedant, the current levels of insulation required by the bca mean that roof colour in perth is not a significant consideration.
LikeLike
I too am hater of the black roof in combination with no eaves. However there is a new product in the black roofing market that apparently utilises old tyre rubber, and that this actually absorbs the heat. At least that’s what I have been told.
LikeLike
I think reflecting heat is what’s needed not absorbing.
LikeLike
…and re-radiates it, which is quite handy in cooler climates but not much cop in our sunny locality where night time cooling is vital.
LikeLike
Small effect, but still significant, I believe.
The current standards do not take into account the re-radiated heat for which black tiles are infamous.
LikeLike
Good point, vegan. I was a black roof hater, but I’ve since been told that the coating technology (and the ability to create a ‘seal’) means they’re actually more efficient than tiles.
LikeLike
But do they require that the insulation has Brett Heady’s seal of approval? They should, the poor bastard hasn’t done any maintenance on his mini-golf “family fun park” on Rotto for years and now it’s not viable as a business because nobody wants to visit the shithole. Poor guy.

Brett’s nickname at WC was “Jobbie”

I went to the footy once when he was playing. When people in the crowd called out “come on Jobbie” he got a faraway look in his eyes, like he wanted to call them all cunts.

Did the Death Star have a black roof?
I think not.

What about black mulch syndrome? How stupid is it to pile coal black mulch onto a perth garden? It’s the most expensive kind to.

All of this pales in comparison to the legions of rose-gardeners, car-washers and fucking pavement waterers. A friend of mine confronted a very prolific pavement waterer (down the Charles St end of Redfern St) about his afternoon waterings, ‘What are you doing mate, it just stopped raining’, to be told ‘I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT’. And it’s true.
