SELECTING A TILE ROOF
What Types of Tile Roofs
are Available?
Ceramic Tile: Ceramic offers a durable defense that’s comparable with clay tile. However, ceramics come in a much more extensive variety of colors, which makes it much easier to match your Georgetown roofing system to the rest of your home décor. Because they feature impressive resistance against wind, hail, and fire, maintenance costs are generally very minimal. As with all tile roofing materials, you can expect a long lifetime of several decades for ceramics.
Spanish Tile: This design features a wavy aesthetic, and it incorporates ample space between columns of tiles for rain to flow downwards. This enables fast-draining capability and limits the potential for leaks. If you’re looking for eye-catching curb appeal, this Spanish styling certainly delivers!
Concrete Tile: Concrete roofing tiles are available and come in a variety of profiles that add character and protection to any roofing system. Concrete tiles for roofs have become increasingly popular with several designers, homeowners, and architects thanks to their ability to deliver a crisp profile without appearing overbearing. Opting for a concrete tile roof allows you to marry the traditional with the modern in a way that’s flexible with almost any existing architectural style. Depending on the appearance you’re seeking, concrete tiles can emulate a variety of surfaces as well. Mirror clay, slate, wood shake, and more while enjoying all of the same protections at a lower cost. Concrete roofing tiles are also great for re-roofing a home or embracing it during new construction projects. Local roofing professionals will be able to best determine if concrete tiles and their styles will work well for your roofing needs.
