Benefits of Tile Roofs:

• Durability & Investment
Clay roof tile has been used for centuries worldwide and for good reason. Both clay roof tile and its modern partner, concrete, are not only beautiful but also extremely durable. With proper building design and installation, tile roofs can last 50 to 100 years or more. In fact, in Asia and Europe, many structures with clay roof tiles have remained not simply intact but also functional and beautiful for centuries. They do not rot in wet climates and are not susceptible to destruction by pests. They can be used in any climate or region and can withstand the severest weather conditions, including fire, wind, and snow. For these reasons, most roof tile manufacturers offer warranties of at least 50 years. It can raise your roof value as much as 50%.

• Safety
Tile Roofs fire resistant and they do not rot in wet climates and are not susceptible to destruction by pests

• Underlayment and Flashing
Flashing and underlayment are the roof’s foundation. Whether the roof is slate, Spanish clay tile, or Cement tile flashing and underlayment are the keys to the longevity of your roofing system. Because they are generally found in the areas that receive the largest amounts of water, it is very important that these materials be of the highest quality and that the installation be done correctly to protect your warranties and life expectancy.
