Types of Tile Roofing We Offer
We offer a range of tile roofing options to fit different styles and budgets. Each type provides unique benefits in durability, appearance, and maintenance.
Clay Tile Roofing
Clay tiles are known for their natural look and long lifespan. They come in various shapes like barrel or flat tiles, allowing for many architectural styles.
These tiles resist fire and weather well. They are also lightweight compared to concrete tiles, which helps reduce stress on your roof structure.
Clay tiles require minimal maintenance but can be fragile during installation. We ensure proper handling and fitting to avoid damage.
Concrete Tile Roofing
Concrete tiles offer strong durability and excellent weather resistance. They can handle heavy rain, wind, and hail better than many other roofing materials.
Our concrete tiles come in many colors and designs. This variety lets you match your home’s look while benefiting from concrete’s sturdiness.
Concrete tiles weigh more than clay, so proper roof support is needed. We assess your roof structure to confirm it can hold the extra weight before installation.
Specialty and Custom Tile Options
We provide specialty tiles for distinctive looks or added functionality. These include custom colors, textures, and shapes to match unique design goals.
Our custom options can include imitation slate or terracotta tiles. These replicate traditional materials but with modern durability.
We also offer tiles with enhanced coatings for better UV resistance and color retention. This helps your roof maintain its appearance over time.
Our Tile Roofing Installation Process
We follow a clear, step-by-step approach when installing tile roofing. This includes inspecting the roof, helping you choose the right tiles, and carefully applying proven installation methods to ensure durability and protection.
Roof Inspection and Preparation
First, we inspect the existing roof structure. We check for any damage, leaks, or weak spots that could affect the tile installation. This step helps us decide if any repairs or reinforcements are needed before starting.
Next, we clean the roof and remove old roofing materials if necessary. Proper preparation ensures that the tiles will fit securely and last longer. We also verify that the roof framing can support the weight of tile roofing, since tiles are heavier than other materials.
Tile Selection
We guide you through selecting the right tiles based on your roof’s shape, climate, and style preferences. Choices include clay, concrete, and other tile types, each with different colors and textures.
We explain the pros and cons of each option, such as durability and cost. Our goal is to help you pick tiles that match your budget and the look you want, while also being suitable for your home’s needs.
Installation
We start by installing a waterproof underlayment to protect the roof deck. Then, we carefully lay the tiles following a pattern that prevents water infiltration.
We fasten each tile securely with nails or clips, depending on the tile type. Special attention is given to areas like roof edges, ridges, and valleys to prevent leaks.
Finally, we inspect the installation for proper alignment and stability. This thorough process ensures your tile roof performs well over time.
Energy Efficiency and Durability of Tile Roofing
Thermal Performance
Tile roofing reflects sunlight and allows air to flow under the tiles. This helps keep houses cooler in hot weather. We see that homes with tile roofs often use less energy for air conditioning.
Materials like clay and concrete have natural insulation. This means they slow down heat transfer, keeping indoor temperatures steady. The shade and ventilation created by tiles reduce heat buildup.
In warm climates, this can lower cooling bills by 10-15%. Using tile roofing helps create a more comfortable indoor space during hot months without relying heavily on electric cooling.
Longevity and Weather Resistance
Tile roofing is known for lasting 50 years or more with proper care. The materials resist cracking, warping, and other damage caused by sun and rain.
Because tiles are heavy, they stay in place through strong winds and storms better than lighter roofing materials. They also resist fire and insect damage.
We recommend tile roofing for areas that face harsh weather elements. Its durability means fewer repairs and replacements over time, which saves money and effort in the long run.
