The Perfect Mix of Beauty and Durability

There isn’t an asphalt shingle on the market that can match the aesthetics of a clay roof tile. With numerous styles, hundreds of colors and a wide variety of finishes available, you can create a roof to suit virtually any architectural style. More and more homeowners and architects are choosing Spanish or French tiles in recent years, as sustainability becomes more culturally important.

Clay Tile Roof Life Spans

Thanks to their beauty and durability, clay roof tiles have been popular worldwide for centuries. These roofs last 50 years to a century or more when properly designed, installed and maintained. They’re moisture-, rot- and pest-resistant and adaptable to any climate. Plus, they can withstand extreme conditions like high winds, heavy snow and fire.

Our tile roofs contain naturally occurring materials and no chemical preservatives. Their traits include recyclability, so they can transform into new tiles or other products. Moreover, clay tiles are energy efficient. They have outstanding thermal properties and create a ventilated air cushion underneath them that helps reduce cooling needs in hot weather. The same properties benefit them in winter as well, allowing the tiles to retain heat and safeguarding them against ice accumulation.

Clay Tile Roof Repair and Maintenance

Although clay tiles are exceptionally durable, these systems need occasional maintenance to remain at their best. Wildlife, weather and age can all lead to loose, missing or cracked tiles. We generally recommend a professional inspection every one to two years so we can identify and resolve any potential issues proactively. Our experts have the specialized skills to inspect and repair your clay tile roof as needed, supporting its function and beauty.

Clay Tile vs. Concrete Tile Roofing

While many people mistakenly interchange clay and concrete when referring to tiles, there are significant differences between the two. Clay tiles consist of molded and baked clay, while concrete tiles primarily contain sand, cement and water. More importantly, each type offers its own unique set of benefits.

Concrete tiles are heavier than clay tiles, so it’s critical to ensure a building can support the weight of a concrete roof. Concrete tiles are also denser, resulting in increased durability in freezing temperatures. However, concrete absorbs more water, making it more prone to mold and mildew.

Compared to concrete, clay tiles require less maintenance. They also offer natural color consistency and never fade, making them ideal for properties with a lot of sun exposure. In climates where temperatures are relatively steady, clay tiles are at the top of the list for durability.
