The Benefits of Tile Roofing

In some countries in the world, tiles are the most common roofing materials, their huge popularity being due to their extraordinary qualities. Until recently in North America, tile roofs were common only in some regions and very rare in other, but nowadays homeowners are starting to see the great benefits of clay and concrete tiles and to prefer tiles over other materials all over the continent. Here are some of the perks of tile roofs:

• Durability – tile roofs are slightly more expensive than other roofing materials, but they can last for around 100 years without requiring any special maintenance, so the longevity makes the investment worthwhile;
• Appearance – nothing compares to the organic appearance of tiles. They also come in many different styles and colors, making it easy for homeowners to pick the variety that best matches the style of their buildings;
• Energy-efficiency – clay and concrete tiles are among the best insulators used for creating roofing systems;
• Resistant to the weather – tiles are sensitive to direct impact, but they are unharmed by solar radiations and they resist well to rain, snow as well as to winds. These qualities make roofing tiles suitable for any geographic region and for almost any building or roofing commerce MI homes (except the ones that cannot bear the extra weight that the tiles add to the roof structure).
