Tile roofing is one of the most popular products in the world today. It has durability beyond compare

Designed for Long Term Performance

With over a century of proper field performance in other parts of the world, tiles provide the longest track record of performance compared to other roofing materials such as asphalt shingles. Tile installed in combination with a properly installed underlayment system made up of a layer of 30lb (ASTM D226) felt that is mechanically fastened to the plywood structure and a layer of mineral surface roll roofing applied with hot asphalt (or a Peel And Stick product used in lieu of the mineral surface & asphalt) is a system that keeps your roof watertight and protects your home from harsh winds and rain as well as UV rays from the sun.  Tiles today are put through some of the most rigorous tests to prove both durability and wind uplift resistance in order to meet the strict Florida Building code requirements. 

Available in a Variety of Colors and Styles

Roof tiles come in many colors, shapes, and sizes. In fact, with modern innovations, concrete and clay roof tile manufacturers can produce tiles to suit any architectural style, from authentic Spanish and Mediterranean to New England Colonial, historic, or contemporary. Roof tiles can be flat or round, simulate wood shakes, or seek to replicate centuries-old roofing materials. The possibilities are virtually limitless. 

Maintain their Color

Colors in tile come from natural sources such as the color and mixture of the clay used in clay tiles or from iron oxide pigments in concrete tiles, both of which are extremely durable. Tiles may experience varying degrees of color softening after extended exposure to the elements. However, this occurs to a lesser degree with roof tile than with most other roofing materials. Some clay roof tile manufacturers guarantee their tiles against fading for 50 years.

Long Lasting Protection

To maintain their long-lasting beauty, the weight of tile is important because it provides enduring protection without developing problems like other roofing materials. Most homes built today are strong enough to support the weight of a tile roof. There are also varieties of lightweight tile offered in certain regions of the country that are ideal for new and re-roofing projects. Tile is fast becoming the re-roofing product of choice due not only to its durability but also to its ease of installation, energy cost savings, and protection like no other roofing material.
