Concrete Tile
 Concrete
tile roofing is definitely becoming one of the most popular materials used in roofing. It is available in concrete or clay, and in many different colors and shapes. Its versatility gives homeowners the ability to find something that matches their home. Concrete roofing tiles offer elegant, long-term aesthetics for house designs and improved marketability for the builder. They also provide greater protection to the homeowner.
Roofing tiles come in all different varieties. Shingle, shake and slate are just some of the varieties of tile. When it comes to concrete tiles, the texture, hue and shape are no issue at all. In fact, they often don't end up looking like tile at all.
A concrete tile rooftop not only perseveres even when surrounded
by majestic nature; this tile also makes its own elegant statement subtle but
definitive.

Tile Roofing Drawbacks:
Similar to slate tiles, the primary drawback to concrete or clay
tiles are their weight. It is important to verify, with your contractor or a
consulting engineer, that the rafters and trusses used to form your roof have
the inherent strength to support the load created by clay or concrete tiles. The
cost of installing a concrete or clay tile roof is not unlike that of wood
shingles. However, tiles have a life expectancy of more than 50 years, are
noncombustible, and do not require a lot of maintenance. When
installing any roof the price of the material and installation has to be taken
in context with other factors including ongoing maintenance costs, warranty and
the value added to the property should you wish to sell. Because it is
noncombustible, the concrete or clay tile itself has a Class A fire rating,
which provides you and your family with a level of safety that is difficult to
put a dollar value to. Some insurance companies will reduce the premium for fire
insurance to homes that have clay or concrete tiles installed on their roofs.
The installation of concrete or clay tiles should reduce heating and cooling
costs, as they are very energy efficient. | Home >> Roofing Products >> Concrete
