Types of Tile Roofs We Install
Clay Tile
Clay tiles offer a classic look that’s rich in history. These tiles are made from natural clay and are known for their long lifespan and excellent thermal properties.
Concrete Tile
Concrete tiles provide a more modern aesthetic and are equally durable. They’re a cost-effective option that offers flexibility in color and style.
Synthetic Tile
Synthetic tiles are the go-to choice for homeowners looking for an eco-friendly yet durable option. Made from recycled materials, they mimic the look of traditional tiles but weigh less and often cost less.
The Advantages of Tile Roofing
When it comes to roofing, the benefits of tile are hard to ignore. Here’s why tile roofing stands out:
- Low Maintenance: A tile roof requires minimal upkeep. A simple power wash is often all you need to keep it looking new.
- Weather-Resistant: Tile’s heavyweight and sturdy construction make it highly resistant to extreme weather conditions like high winds, hail, and fire.
- Longevity: Depending on the material, a tile roof can last two to three times longer than roofs made of less durable materials like cedar or asphalt.
Tile Roof FAQs
How does the cost of a tile roof compare to other roofing materials?
Tile roofing tends to be more expensive upfront compared to traditional materials like asphalt shingles. However, the long-term benefits often justify the initial investment. Tile roofs have exceptional durability and can last anywhere from 50 to 100 years, minimizing replacement costs over the life of your home in Shelby.
Can I walk on my tile roof without damaging it?
Walking on a tile roof is not recommended unless absolutely necessary, and even then, extreme caution should be exercised. Tiles can crack or break under pressure, leading to potential leaks and additional expenses for repairs. If you must walk on the roof, it’s best to consult with our professionals who are experienced in navigating tile roofs without causing damage.
What is the best way to maintain a tile roof?
The best way to maintain your tile roof is through regular inspections and prompt repairs. Tiles may need to be replaced if they are cracked, broken, or missing. Keep the roof clear of debris and ensure that the gutters and downspouts are functioning properly.
