Metal & Tile Roofing
Tile roofs are typically made out of clay and concrete as they are very weather resistant and can be modeled into attractive and decorative shapes and sizes. Two excellent options for tile roofs are clay and slate. Corrugated clay tiles encourage air flow on the surface of the roof, keeping the home cool in the summer. Slate is more durable lasting up to 100 years with little maintenance.
Furthermore, slate tiles can be reclaimed and recycled making them even greener. Lastly, on clay or slate tiles, additional reflective coating can be added to tile as well keeping more sun off your home.
While tiles are more durable compared to other roofing options, a roof structure must have been built to hold tile roofing, although light weight tile is available careful consideration should be made when having any type of tile installed on the roof.
Metal roofing offers a superior appearance and performance. Today’s standing seam metal roofs are more widely specified than most other metal roof types. Metal roofs are not just an element to keep the water out; they are systems that display a distinct architectural style in a wide variety of colors and styles.
