From terracotta-tinted cottages in Munnar to urban villas in Kochi, roof colour is no longer just a practical choice—it’s a design statement. In 2025, Kerala homeowners are more design-savvy than ever, balancing curb appeal, energy efficiency, and neighbourhood harmony when picking roof colours.
At Scaffs India, we supply shingles and roofing tiles that let you express your personal style—whether it’s bold and brave or soft and serene.

🧠 What’s Influencing Colour Choices in 2025?
1. Climate Consciousness
Darker shades absorb heat. In hotter regions like central and northern Kerala, more people are choosing light-coloured shingles and tiles to keep homes cooler.
2. Neighbourhood Trends
Homeowners want individuality without clashing with the surroundings. We’re seeing bold colours on unique structures (like A-frames or designer villas) and subtle palettes for community dwellings.
3. Material Technology
Today’s roofing materials, including our Borja Tech solar-integrated tiles, come in both vibrant and muted colours without compromising on durability or reflectivity.

4. Architectural Style
Rustic cabins demand earth-tones, while modern builds embrace contrasting, darker roofs for dramatic appeal.
