Tile roofs are a popular option among homeowners and roofers alike. They are both appealing and durable. However, people have traditionally regarded them as expensive and heavy.
Today, we answer the most common questions homeowners have about tile roofing and settle, once and for all, the negative perceptions attached to it.
Question: Are Tile Roofs Affordable?
Answer: Absolutely. While the prices of other roofing options, such as wood shakes and asphalt shingles, have increased in the past few years, the price of tile roofs has not. In fact, tile roofs actually cost much less than slate roofs.
Question: Are There Limitations to My Color Choices?
Answer: No. Thanks in large part to various production techniques, roofing manufacturers are now able to augment the traditional colors of tile roofs and include different blends. Homeowners now have a variety of vivid colors from which to choose.
Question: Are They Fireproof?
Answer: Concrete tile roofs are non-combustible. In fact, complete tile roof assemblies can boast an impressive A rating for fire safety. It’s an added safety feature that can come in handy in the event of a fire breakout in your home.
Question: Are They Easy to Maintain?
Answer: All roofing systems require some form of maintenance, one way or another. There’s also the local climate to factor into the equation. Under normal conditions, however, tile roofing requires very minimal maintenance. You won’t have to fuss about it constantly just to keep it in pristine condition.
