The Perfect Mix of Beauty & 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

Clay roof tiles have been used for centuries worldwide. A tile roof is not only beautiful, but is also extremely durable. With proper building design and installation, these roofs can last 50 to 100 years (or more). They do not rot in wet climates, are not susceptible to destruction by pests, can be used in any climate, and can withstand the most severe of weather conditions, including fire, wind, and snow.

Our tile roofs are made from naturally occurring materials, manufactured without chemical preservatives. The old clay tiles can be recycled to make new tiles or other products. Moreover, clay tiles are energy efficient; because of the superior thermal capacity of roof tiles and the ventilated air space that their placement on the roof surface creates, a tile roof can lower air conditioning costs in hotter climates and produce more constant temperatures in colder regions, which reduces potential ice accumulation.

Clay Roof Repair and Maintenance

While clay tile roofing is one of the most durable roofing systems ever invented, they do require periodic maintenance. Loose, cracked, and missing clay tiles are often found, due to age, storms, animals, and other causes.

Our clay tile roofing experts will carefully inspect and repair these tile systems, which is a highly specialized roofing skill. Trust your repair and service needs to Cornett Roofing Systems!

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. Another critical factor is that clay tiles never fade. If used in climates where temperatures are relatively steady, clay tiles are at the top of the list for durability.
