 TRIED • TESTED • TRUSTED
For over ten years Decra® Roofing Tiles have been Kenya’s first choice in
roofing material. When we introduced Decra® in 2001, the construction
community was quick to realise the benefits of using a long-life product made
from natural materials. Architects love the aesthetic qualities of the natural
stone finish, contractors appreciate the Decra® lightweight and ease of
installation, whilst for most homeowners it’s the appeal of a low maintenance
roof that never changes colour. But whether you are an architect, contractor
or homeowner, one thing is certain – Decra® is a tried, tested & trusted roofing

PROVEN AROUND THE WORLD

The Decra® story begins in 1954 after the New Zealander, Lou Fisher,
discovered that the bitumen coating used on metal roofs in the UK had
extended their life considerably. Back in New Zealand, he produced his first
coated metal roof tile and so the origins of Decra® Roofing were born.

Over time, various new technologies and coatings have been employed
and we continue to improve our manufacturing process so that our products
today still lead the way in design and innovation. Decra® Roofing tiles are
tried, tested and trusted in over 120 countries worldwide.

Since 1957 we have continually innovated and

developed our technology so that today we
lead the way in design, quality, performance
and durability. Our natural stone chips are
embedded deep in our own patented
basecoat and sealed in an acrylic resin to
ensure they stay permanently fixed to the
tile. The finished tiles are then oven baked to
ensure durability.

SHAKE

Dutch, French and German roof styles and recreated them in timber. Splitting cedar with an
axe to make roof tiles, or ‘shakes’, these roofs created natural, aesthetically pleasing looks
which have stood the test of time.

Today, Decra® Shake tiles take the best of the shake design and combine it with cutting
edge technology to produce traditional, natural looking roofs with superior long life
performance.
Decra® Shake is particularly popular as a modern
replacement for thatch or majani roofs, where Decra® tiles
fireproof qualities offer extra security, while stone coated
shake designs offer a natural look.

SHINGLE

Decra® Shingle has a distinctive vertical ridge textured finish that gives your roof solidarity
and character. Available in a selection of natural colours which reflect the heritage of
shingle roofs, Decra® Shingle tiles are also available with a unique two-tone colour patch
arrangement. However, the appeal of Decra® Shingle is much more than its natural colour
hues. Shingle tile ridges cast deep shadows which give considerable variations in feel and
texture throughout the day depending on the sun’s position. Homeowners love the fact that
Decra® Shingle gives their home a different appearance at different times of the day.

 THE HOMEOWNER

"For us, Decra was an easy choice. Firstly, it had to look good.
Not just now, but in five to ten years time. Secondly, it had to
provide security for our family, which Decra does. Thirdly, we
didn't want any maintenance hassles, and never have with our
Decra roof. All of this and the great service we received from
Space & Style made Decra our number one choice and we
don't regret it for a minute."

THE ARCHITECT

"The natural stone finish on Decra roof tiles gives the roof a really
interesting look. It's difficult to match the performance and
quality of Decra. Even though there are other products like it,
they are never as good, especially after installation, when the
colour can often fade. Decra always remains vibrant. For our
clients near the coast, we would recommend Decra for sure, as
it doesn't corrode and it does come with a fifty year warranty."

THE DEVELOPER

"On time and on budget - is the phrase we live by, and Decra
helps us deliver this. Using Decra adds value to our project as
people like the look of their roofs and the security they offer. The
service we receive from Space & Style is great and we've never
had a problem using their products. As builders of high quality
homes, I'd never suggest trying to buy a roof on the cheap - it's
just not worth the hassle. Considering the roof's job, it's one area
you want to know that works."

THE INSTALLER

"I have worked with a lot of roofs, but Decra is the best! I
always recommend Decra to my clients, it is the highest quality,
performs well and doesn't require maintenance. It is also very
secure and safe. Decra trains us well, so we know about the
company and that they invented the steel roof tile. Installing
Decra is a pleasure, it's well made so installation is easier and
quicker than with some other materials. Plus, they don't get
damaged like clay tiles do."
