Make Your Home Design Stand Out with Clay Tiles

The Roofing Option for Mediterranean Design Style Lovers

For almost two centuries, clay tile roofs have always been the perfect match for homes of Mediterranean or Spanish design style lovers. These tiles also pair well with brick or stone siding. They are a natural and attractive material with UV-resistant properties and durable colors, which makes them a superior product for successful roofing projects in Colorado.

Their longevity, ease of maintenance, and unmatchable beauty make clay tiles one of the most popular roofing materials today. Let’s take a look at more characteristics of clay tiles.

Advantages of a Clay Tile Roof

Durability and Maintenance

Clay tiles are Class A fire rated. This means that they won’t rot or burn and that are resistant to insect damage. Plus, they endure freezing temperatures, torrential rains, thaw cycles, and other harsh weather conditions.

This type of tiles can last for over 100 years, much longer than many other roofing materials. Occasional cleaning of dust and seasonal remains is all you need to do to keep them in good conditions.

Environmentally Friendly

Because these tiles are fabricated with natural materials and no chemical preservatives are used in the production, they are environmentally friendly and easily recycled.

Insulation

Clay also offers insulating properties since the air can circulate under the tiles, helping keep inside temperatures warmer in the coldest months and cooler in the summer.

Versatility

Unlike regular shingles, clay tiles come in a variety of colors, finishes, shapes, and sizes, adding more character and uniqueness to the curb appeal of your home. Colors range from shades of brown, orange, yellow, and white, with terra-cotta being the most common color.

Just keep in mind that clay roofing tends to be costlier than other roofing alternatives, such as concrete or metal roofing.
