TILE ROOFING PROFESSIONALS
Clay tiles for roofing have been around in America since the 17th century. This is when major fires in Boston and New York prompted the creation of fire codes that encouraged fireproof roofing. Once European settlers began bringing clay tiles over in response to these bylaws, the trend of clay tile roofing really stuck.
Their easy maintenance, low thermal conductivity, and durability sealed the deal, and they became the most popular roofing material for almost two centuries. Moreover, clay tiles have one of the longest estimated lifespans of any roofing material, with some clay roofs lasting more than 100 years. Today, clay tile roofing remains a popular aesthetic style, especially in Florida.
It will come at a cost about two or three times that of asphalt shingles, so it is a big investment. However, buyers will know that there will be very little maintenance involved with a clay tile roof, and that replacement will be unlikely.
A notable consideration with clay tile roofing is that your home’s construction must be strong enough to bear its weight, up to 850 pounds per square foot. If reconstruction is out of the question, however, you can opt for concrete or imitation clay tiles.
Simply put, clay tile roofing is a beautiful choice. When properly installed, including quality flashing and underlayment, you won’t have to replace it in your lifetime, and maintenance will be almost non-existent. And best of all, you’ll be extremely happy you have a clay roof when those high winds start to pick up during a severe weather event.
Clay tile roofs are extremely energy efficient due to certain characteristics working together to reduce heat gain in your attic. These include airflow, thermal mass, thermal emittance, and solar reflectance. This will keep your home warm during the winter and cool during our long, hot Florida summers. In addition, clay tiles are made from natural materials with no harmful chemicals.

The most important part of clay tile roof installation is laying the flashing and underlayment properly. This step is so important because these aspects of the process are the biggest contributors to your clay roof’s longevity. They are installed where your roof will experience the most amount of water and serve as the roof’s waterproof foundation.
Clay tiles are challenging to install, and not every roofing company has worked with them. Our roofing experts understand that installing clay tiles require precise measurement, with tiles laid in a specific pattern. In addition, they will be sure to double-check that no moisture can get in.
