Tile has been used as a roofing application for centuries. The durability and versatility of a tile roof makes it an ideal roofing system in most climates. Available in clay and concrete, as well as a variety of looks, tile roofs last decades longer than traditional asphalt shingle roofs. Concrete shingles can last upwards of 50 years while clay tiles can have a lifespan of 100 years. Many property owners are initially interested in tile roofs for aesthetic appeal and are pleasantly surprised when they learn about the long-term benefits of investing in tile.
Some property owners simply choose between clay and tile based upon the look they are trying to achieve. Others base their decision on climate. While concrete shingles have an average water absorption rate of 13%, clay typically has an absorption rate closer to 6%. The higher absorption rate in concrete can result in mildewing and staining over the life of the roof. Clay tile roofs can however crack in extreme freezing and thawing situations. An experienced roofing professional can help you explore your options in order to select an application that meets your needs and your budget.
When choosing a tile roof, it’s important to account for the existing architectural design of your home. You want to select a style that compliments and enhances the beauty of your property. As you consider your options, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the styles from which you can choose. Let’s explore the four most common types of tiles roofs on the market today.
Spanish tile has is a quintessential architectural element that has been used for centuries, all around the globe. The familiar single barrel design provides a beautiful, continuous wave-like effect. This striking old-world design compliments a wide variety of building styles.

Defined by high profile tile barrels, mission roofs provide dramatic shadows that change with passing daylight hours.
