Tile Roof

Tile roofs have been around for centuries. Like any roofing product, they were created to provide a barrier between the inside of a structure and the harsh outside elements. Roof tiles are made of local, natural and recyclable materials such as terracotta (also known as clay), slate and concrete.

What is the advantage of a tile roof?

Tile roofs are exceptionally resistant to water, frost, fire, wind and insect damage, lasting for centuries rather than decades. When a building owner invests in a properly installed tile roof, it's the last roof they'll ever need to buy – a huge plus when it comes to resale value.

What are the pros and cons of tile roofing?

Tile roofing can be expensive – Clay or concrete roof tiles can cost twice as much as asphalt shingles. However, you're paying for durability, longevity, and curb appeal. Over the long-term, you'll end up saving money since maintenance costs will be less and it will be some time before you have to replace it.

Is tile roof safe?

Concrete and clay tile roofing is safer than traditional roofing materials such as shingles, wood shakes or metal. By design, a tile roof allows air circulation under the tile, which reduces heat transfer to the attic during a fire.
