Types of Tile Roofing

There are basically two materials used to create roofing tiles. Clay roofing tiles are popular and is used on many Spanish type homes. Clay tiles are a great choice for homes that have different architectural designs and are durable enough to withstand extreme temperatures, rains and heavy winds.

Concrete is another material used to create roofing tiles and concrete tiles offer their own benefits. They are also very weather resistant and are affordable. They can be matched to any existing home exterior and are very diverse with regards to selection of styles, designs and colors.

Benefits of Tile Roofing

One of the most notable benefits of tile roofing is longevity. In some cases, a tile roof may last for the entire life of your home. Many ancient homes and other buildings have tile roofs and those roofs have withstood centuries of weather and other elements. When tile is properly installed, it can protect your home for as long as you live there but it is important that it is installed properly.

Tile roofing is also fire resistant, which means that your home will be a bit more protected from fire and you could see benefits in the form of discounts on your homeowners insurance. Tile holds up very well to many weather elements including hail and heavy winds, so it will require less maintenance and fewer repairs when compared to other roofing products. If damage is incurred, it is very inexpensive to repair.

Those looking for a more environmentally-friendly approach to their roofing needs will appreciate the greenness of tile roofing. They are made from clay or concrete, which are natural materials and they do not contain any harmful ingredients or chemicals. They are easy to recycle, so if you decide to replace your roof in the future with another material, your old roof tiles can be completely recycled, which will cut down on overall waste. Tile roofing will also help to add an extra layer of insulation to your roof, which helps to minimize energy costs.

Although tiles are a great choice for any roof, due to the weight of the materials used in tile roofing systems, it is extremely important that the person who installs the tile has the appropriate technical expertise. If a strong frame is not constructed, the tiles may become too heavy—causing the structure to collapse and risking permanent damage to your home.
