Our Story
Since 2016, Afristar has been transforming South Africa’s roofing landscape from our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Durban. What began as a vision to revolutionize the local roofing industry has evolved into one of the country’s leading manufacturers of SABS-approved concrete roof tiles.
Manufacturing Excellence
At our cutting-edge facility on 251 Queen Nandi Drive in Riverhorse Valley, Durban, we’ve established unprecedented standards in roofing manufacturing. Our commitment to excellence is validated by our SABS certification, which we maintain through rigorous quality control processes and continuous testing procedures. Every tile that leaves our facility undergoes comprehensive quality assurance protocols, ensuring consistent compliance with SANS 542 standards.
Innovation in Action
Our signature Through Color Technology represents our dedication to innovation in roofing solutions. This advanced manufacturing process ensures color consistency throughout each tile’s body, delivering superior fade resistance and long-term aesthetic appeal. Our Double Roman profile, our flagship product, exemplifies this commitment to excellence, combining classic design with modern engineering precision.

Our SABS certification isn’t just a mark on our products – it’s a testament to our manufacturing philosophy. Every production batch undergoes extensive testing, ensuring compliance with the strictest industry standards.
