Two products from Monier Roofing are contributing to the 8 star energy
efficiency of the CSR House.
The CSR House initiative demonstrates how CSR products and systems can
be used to provide high levels of affordable, cost-effective energy efficiency
in home design. An 8 star rated house typically requires around 75% less
heating and cooling energy than the average Australian home.
Monier Horizon roof tiles in Caper have been used on the roof of the CSR
House. Horizon roof tiles are flat concrete roof tiles designed to deliver both
aesthetic and functional benefits to the house.
Monier Horizon roof tiles help create a streamlined roof that integrates
seamlessly with modern Australian architecture. These roof tiles are also available
in a palette of 14 inspirational colours to enhance the look of any new home. By
offering a thermal advantage over other higher conductive roofing materials, the
Horizon concrete tile range reduces energy usage to benefit the home as well as
the environment.
The CSR House also features the Monier SOLARtile, integrated seamlessly
into Monier’s flat profiled roof tiles. Monier SOLARtile replaces unsightly
bolt-on solar panels to deliver high performance, and clean, green energy to
the home without disturbing the aesthetics. The 25-year performance guarantee of
the solar tiles also ensures the supply of sustainable energy well into the
future.
