Tile Roofing: Durable, Stylish, and Long-Lasting Solutions

Tile Roofing Comes in a Range of Materials, Colors, and Styles
Tile roofing is a popular material particularly suited to the hot, dry desert climate. It is often used in homes designed in Southwestern, Spanish Mission, or Mediterranean styles. Besides its durability, tile provides a clean, modern look.
Types of Roof Tile Materials
Roof tiles are available in various forms, including ceramic, baked clay, terracotta, slate, and concrete. Since tiles are fabricated by mixing materials and dyes, they are available in a wide range of colors and styles. Styles range from tiles that mimic the look of wood or slate to brightly colored ceramic tiles. Tiles may even be recycled from older structures, adding a unique classic look to custom home designs.

Benefits and Considerations for Tile Roofing
Tile provides a durable and long-lived roof that is fire-safe and insect-resistant. It also resists mold and does not usually fade. While tiles may break if walked on, they can typically be repaired or replaced without major work if the damage is localized.
Tiles are heavy, so the home must be structurally built to carry the weight of a tile roof for its long lifetime. The slope of the home should not be less than 18 degrees to allow for proper rainwater runoff. Tile roofs can last 50 years or more, making them an excellent long-term investment for any home.
