ᐅ Clay roof tiles instead of concrete roof tiles – Is the additional cost justified?

Hello,

we received an offer from our general contractor to upgrade our 11 x 9 m (36 x 30 ft) house with a 45° gable roof.

Instead of concrete roof tiles (Braas Harzer Pfanne), clay roof tiles (Erlus E58Sl) will be installed.

What would be a reasonable price increase, and how good are these tiles compared to the concrete ones?

We are being asked to pay 2500€ more...

The surcharge should always be the amount you think it’s worth paying 😉

The additional cost mainly comes from the handling on site and the higher breakage rate compared to the commonly used concrete roof tiles.
