Tile Roofs
Genuine tile roofs have a distinctive look and are very popular for certain home styles. Listed below are some of the many advantages of having a tile roofing:
- Long-Term Durability
Some tile roofs are centuries old and still provide roof protection. And modern tiles are manufactured to shed water naturally and to provide added ventilation. - Wide Variety of Colors and Styles
Tiles are available in dozens of colors and shapes, and custom color matching is available from some manufacturers. Styles range from traditional barrel-shaped tiles, to tiles that mimic the look for wood or slate. - Colorfast
Some tile manufacturers guarantee their tiles against fading for up to 50 years. - High Wind-Resistance
Tile is one of the few roofing products that can withstand hurricane-force winds. - Economical
Although tile may be initially more expensive than a shingle roof, over the long-term tile outperforms other materials and is one of the most cost-effective roofing products. With proper maintenance, many tile roofs throughout the world have lasted for centuries. - Energy Savings
The Department of Energy has demonstrated that tiles can reduce heat transfer by as much as 70% compared to asphalt shingles.
