ᐅ Black engobed roof tiles / Faster intense heating / Upper floor?

Hello,

we went out over the weekend to choose roof tiles, and we like a roof tile from Creaton (type Balance) in the color Nuance black engobed. However, I’m not sure if the tile is only engobed or also glazed, as it has a refined silky sheen in the engobe coating.

But what about heat in the summer? Does this type of tile transfer heat to the insulation faster than, for example, a red tile? A sunny weekend doesn’t really matter, but it becomes more interesting during a longer heatwave. If the heat penetration is only delayed by about one day with a red tile, then it probably doesn’t make much difference either.

Our upper floor construction from inside to outside is as follows: 12.5 mm (1/2 inch) drywall, 15 mm (5/8 inch) OSB, 240 mm (9.5 inches) 035 glass wool insulation between the rafters. On top of that is DeltaMaxx foil (or something similar) and then the roof covering.

Best regards

Interesting connection – but it’s probably incorrect. Heat storage is a matter of mass. A large mass stores a lot of heat

But unfortunately, the reverse is not true, as shown by the example of metal! Despite its high density, metal is a good conductor of heat, whereas concrete is a good heat storage material. As in all areas of physics and life, properties cannot be reduced to a single value!
