The roofing system for a new world
SERVICES
Installing the nu-lok roofing system for your house is a smart choice for many reasons:
Added value.
A roof installed using the nu-lok roofing system adds thousands of dollars to the value of the property. It is the preferred system for installing both ceramic and slate roof tiles, the first choice in the construction of some of the country’s most prestigious homes.
Cost efficient, Eco-friendly.
One day every roof in Australia will harness solar energy. Install the unique nu-lok roofing system and you can replace some of the roof tiles with energy producing nu-lok seamless solar inserts, either now or in the future. Saving money and resources with the power of the sun.
Durability.
The nu-lok roofing system is far superior to the old wood batten fixing method. The nu-lok roofing system uses metal channels made from zincalume to fix, proof and lock the roof tiles in place. The nu-lok roofing system does not require nails thus avoiding long-term maintenance costs.
Guarantee.
The nu-lok roofing system and nu-lok ceramic roof tiles carry a 50year guarantee against fading and installation failure. Nu-lok ceramic roof tiles are imported, mainly from Italy, produced using the same method as the roof on top of the Sydney Opera House, which recently celebrated its Fiftieth Anniversary.
About the nu-lok roofing system
The nu-lok roofing system replaces the traditional wooden battens with a far superior lightweight zincalume grid system to fix, proof and lock the tiles in place. The nu-lok roofing system, although designed in Australia, is now used in hugely diverse climates worldwide from the freezing temperatures of North America to the heat of Africa.
The patented nu-lok roofing system incorporates specially designed link channels containing a high grade 316 steel clip to secure the leading tile edge and locked in place between galvanised steel battens, making it a much stronger fit.
This link channel eliminates the need for the double lapping of slates. So that as water passes through the gaps between the tiles it is automatically routed onto the surface of the tiles below.
As a result, the nu-lok roofing system requires fewer tiles and less labour content than traditional roofing methods, delivering a surprisingly affordable roofing option. At 27kg per square metre, the unique nu-lok design weighs very little yet it can support the installer’s weight with ease.
Ease of tile replacement
The locking method of the nu-lok roofing system is so simple to change that roof tiles can be replaced in seconds without resorting to mechanical fixings or any tools.
Choice of nu-lok roof tiles
Ceramic Slate Tiles – The nu-lok roofing system is designed for ceramic slate (baked at 1200ºC) and strong enough for a roofer to walk on – guaranteed colourfast for 50 years.
Natural Slate Tiles – The nu-lok roofing system’s link channels are just adjusted to fit the variable width (250mm or 300mm, etc) when using Natural Slate tiles.

Introducing the nu-lok seamless solar insert system
The nu-lok solar roofing system is designed to integrate into the roofline rather than be fixed on to the top of it. This means that the roofline remains clean and clear of any unsightly structure, which may be the case with many of the old roof solar panel systems. The key component is the nu-lok roofing system that allows the solar inserts to be fitted neatly into the roofline. This unique innovation means that now every Australian roof could potentially become an energy source without sacrificing the beauty of the home that supports it.
What is solar energy?
Most electricity is generated from burning fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide and other hazardous gases into the atmosphere and contributes to climate change and global warming.
The sun provides us with the most renewable energy source on earth. Through harnessing the sun’s natural energy simply and efficiently through solar PV (photovoltaic) panels, we can convert it to clean electricity to power lighting and appliances in our homes. This is known as solar energy.
Advances in technology mean nowadays you only need daylight – not sunlight – in order to generate solar power. So even on cloudy or rainy days, your nu-lok solar roofing system will be working for you.
Why should I install a nu-lok solar roofing system?
The nu-lok solar roofing inserts convert light directly into electricity, without generating any waste or harmful greenhouse gases, saving approximately 450kg of carbon dioxide emissions per year for each kW peak installed. (Kilowatt (kW) peak – PV cells are referred to in terms of the amount of energy they generate in full sunlight).
Harnessing the sun’s energy and converting it into electricity, will not only reduce or even eliminate your electricity bills, it will reduce your daily impact on the environment.
No matter what system size you choose, from day one you’ll be able to benefit from producing clean electricity directly on your own property. With rapidly depleting oil stores, a nu-lok solar roofing system will mean that in the future you can protect yourself from rising energy prices while protecting the environment from carbon emissions.
By installing a nu-lok solar roofing system you will become a clean energy provider and profit from the experience!
Any extra electricity you generate with your nu-lok solar roofing system can be sold back to the national grid – so you can make extra money! Agreements are in place with major energy suppliers – providing you with even more security for your investment in renewable energy. International studies also show that homebuyers will pay more for your environmentally sound home, making your nu-lok solar system a solid future investment.
