Tile Roof Extensions in Melbourne – Match Your Home’s Design with Monier Roof Tiles

24 June 2025

Enhance your home with seamless tile roof extensions in Melbourne. Higgins Roofing offers professional solutions using premium Monier Roof Tiles.

As Melbourne homeowners increasingly seek to expand their living space, tile roof extensions offer a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution. Whether you’re adding a new room, extending a living area, or upgrading for resale value, matching your extension to your existing roof is crucial for maintaining your home’s visual harmony and structural integrity.

At Higgins Roofing, we combine over 50 years of experience with Australia’s leading tile brand, Monier Roof Tiles to deliver roof extensions that look and perform like they’ve always been part of your home.

Challenges of Matching New Roof Extensions with Existing Designs

Achieving a seamless appearance between your original roof and a new extension involves more than simply choosing the same tile type. Multiple variables can affect the visual and structural harmony of a property, particularly when original materials have aged, or when the home’s style is unique.

1.  Colour and Texture Inconsistencies

Even when using the same tile line, new tiles can look different from aged ones due to weathering, fading, and sun exposure. This visual mismatch can reduce your home’s curb appeal.

Solution: Monier’s C-LOC™ technology maintains colour vibrancy over time, minimising discrepancies between new and old tiles.

2.  Material Compatibility Issues

Older Melbourne homes often use discontinued or handmade tiles, which can complicate extension projects.

Solution: Higgins Roofing identifies the closest modern match—or custom solutions where needed—ensuring structural and aesthetic compatibility.

3.  Architectural Mismatch

A poorly aligned roof pitch or profile can ruin your home’s overall design.

Solution: Our design team ensures that roof angles, tile styles, and overhangs are meticulously planned for architectural coherence.

Why Choose Monier Roof Tiles for Your Extension?

Monier is Australia’s roofing gold standard, offering:
