Hello everyone,

We are currently planning our first home and have just had our first meeting with the carpenter (who is also the roofer).

In the offer, we have the Nibra F10ü clay roof tiles. Now the carpenter has informed us that we could get the Koramic Alegra 8 tiles at the same price. On the way back, we each looked at a house with the mentioned roof tiles. Basically, we prefer the slightly larger Koramic Alegra 8.

Now to the actual question:
Are there any quality differences between the two manufacturers, or what is your opinion of Koramic? This brand is not familiar to me. Nelskamp, on the other hand, is a known name, although I don’t have any associated knowledge about their quality.

Thank you very much and have a happy Easter,
Sönke

I keep wondering why people make everything so complicated and choose expensive materials that have no long-term experience.

And I keep wondering why people don’t just give the questioner a straightforward answer.
Please excuse me, but if I knew because I was a roofer or had built before or was familiar with these building materials, I certainly wouldn’t be asking this kind of question here.
To refer to your answer, we didn’t choose anything ourselves. The Nelskamp Nibra tiles are the standard option offered. We were only given the Koramic Alegra 8 as an alternative at the same price.
My question was about whether anyone could share general information about the manufacturers (and possibly about the specific types).

But despite everything, I thank you for taking the time to respond to my question.
No offense is meant. I’m just a layperson in this field and was hoping for expert advice or experience here.

Koramic is a type of brick produced by the company Wienerberger. They also manufacture Poroton blocks and have been on the market for a very long time. It is not a bad choice either.

OK. Thanks very much for your reply. So I take it that there is no difference in quality between the two manufacturers?!

I think they probably won't be much different.
