Advantages of clay Roof Tiles

Clay roof tiles can provide homeowners with a durable and aesthetically pleasant exterior. Some clay roofs can last for a century, and many require only a minimal amount of maintenance. That makes clay a viable option compared to similar materials like terra cotta, fired clay, molded concrete, or slate.

Advantages..

Longevity

Clay roof tiles have a longer lifespan than many other materials. These roof tiles can have a service life of as long as a hundred years. Even on the low end, you can expect at least 50 years out of a clay tile roof. This is because the tiles are built to be nearly indestructible and resistant to the elements.

Low Maintenance

Compared to other roofing materials, clay roof tiles require less maintenance, which can lower the total cost of ownership. The most common type of roof material is asphalt shingles. They only have a life expectancy of up to 20 years, and they require more special attention to maintenance than clay roof tiles.

Durability

Clay roof tiles do not rot and they're fire and insect-resistant. This durability makes them not only structurally reliable but attractive for many years to come.

Insulation

Air freely circulates beneath these roof tiles, which regulates rooftop temperatures, helping maintain temperatures inside the home.

Weather Resistance

Other materials expand and contract to a greater degree when extreme conditions occur. In contrast, clay roof tiles maintains the roof's integrity by withstanding the most extreme hot and cold weather events. They are also able to resist the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
