Tile Roofing Benefits


Roofing has come a long way in terms of durability, energy efficiency and aesthetics. If you are looking into upgrading your roof and don’t want to get copper roofing, deal with single-ply applications or composite roofing, we suggest looking into tile roofing. Tile roofing is gorgeous, energy efficient, and made for easy roof washing and cleaning.

Two very popular forms of tile roofing are slate and tile. Slate and clay are both natural and come from the earth and because of that, are very environmentally friendly. They also flow well with houses that are made of natural materials.

Slate roofs, if applied correctly, can last up to 130 years. Basically once you get it installed you will never need another roof. Slate is very durable, so it’s very tough against heavy winds and tropical storms (No wonder you see it a lot in the South). Slate is also non-combustible, so it won’t catch on fire.

Slate comes in a variety of sizes and shapes. No one slate roof is alike and you are not stuck with just one size. The roofing cost for slate is a little higher than other roofs, so consult a roofing specialist or a commercial roofing contractor if you are considering upgrading your roof.

The other style of tile roofing is Clay. It’s similar to slate and the main difference is that it will last about 30-50 years and it isn’t expensive as slate.
