Tile Roofing Basics: What Makes It Unique

Tile roofs are available in clay, concrete, or slate styles, each offering natural beauty and exceptional longevity. Clay and concrete tiles can last over a century with proper care, while slate tiles may endure even longer. [1]

They resist rot, insects, hail, high winds (up to 150 mph), and fire often earning Class A fire-resistance ratings. [6]

Tile roofing also reflects sunlight and has high thermal mass, keeping homes naturally cooler in summer and insulated in winter translating to energy savings. [3]

Why Choose Tile Roofing: Homeowner Benefits

Longevity & Reliability

Tile roofs offer one-time installations that last lifetimes, no frequent replacements like asphalt shingles (20–30 years). [2] When installed by experts, you'll avoid repeated roof work and gain long-term savings.

Extreme Durability

Tiles resist weather extremes hail, wind, and fire making them ideal for wildfire-prone, storm-heavy, or coastal areas. 

Low Maintenance & Enduring Look

Tiles don’t corrode or fade, many are baked with color that stays vibrant. Minimal upkeep is needed just gentle cleaning every few years. [3]

Energy Efficiency & Sustainability

Tile roofs reflect sunlight, regulate attic temperature, and are made from recyclable materials like clay or concrete. That supports lower utility bills and an eco-friendly footprint. 

Increased Home Value & Curb Appeal

An elegant tile roof stands out, boosts resale value, and often appeals to higher-end buyers making it a smart investment.[5]
