Tile roofing is a premium option known for its timeless appearance and long service life. It’s commonly made from clay, concrete, or lightweight composites, and is often chosen for Mediterranean, Spanish, and mission-style homes.
Spanish tile, with its warm orange/terracotta tones, is a great choice for homeowners who want that traditional look often seen in places like Spain, Colombia, and other parts of Latin America and Europe. It gives a roof strong character and pairs well with stucco and masonry exteriors.
Because tile and slate are heavy materials, they must be considered from the beginning of the design. The roof framing has to be engineered to support the added weight. Switching from asphalt shingle to tile later is not always possible without structural evaluation and potential reinforcement.
When properly installed and not exposed to large hail or severe impact, tile roofing can last for many years.
