Tile Roofing

Tile roofs endure some of nature's toughest elements; yet despite the harshest weather, concrete and clay have been proven to resist wind, hail, rain, earthquakes and even fires. This resilience enables manufacturers to offer some of the longest warranties in the roofing industry.

The color palette for concrete and clay roof tile includes hundreds of selections with options ranging from a single-color tile to a matrix of up to five colors. Styles range from flat to barrel-shaped tile, and either will change the appearance of a roof dramatically. There is also a wide selection of carefully blended hues that range from subtle tints to vibrant colors, and wood and slate textures that simulate nature.

In addition to tile's unique beauty, most concrete and clay tile manufacturers typically offer a minimum 50-year limited warranty on their products. For consumers, this warranty covers their roofing material for as long as they own their homes.

Clay and concrete are one of the most cost-effective alternatives to your construction needs. Contrary to common misconceptions, tile roofing is not the most expensive component of building. Actually, when compared to its lifecycle of 50 to 100 years or more, tile provides the most economical solutions for your building requirements. Furthermore, tile roofing may be a better insulator than some other steep-slope roofing systems. The combined effect of the roof tiles, air space and decking allows for better air circulation and reducing direct heat transfer. As a result, a tile roof can lower air conditioning costs in hotter climates and produce more constant temperatures in colder regions, reducing potential ice accumulation.
