Functional and Attractive Clay Tiles Roofs

Whether it's a contemporary or rustic look you're going for in your home, clay tiles will help you achieve this look. Easy on the eyes, this natural material can enhance your home's curb appeal and resale value. Clay tile roofs come in different colors, shapes, and sizes as well—giving homeowners freedom to pick one that suits their personalities.    

Aside from its aesthetic value, clay tile roofs are also sturdy. They are fire-resistant, and can last for decades with little maintenance. Cleaning clay tile roofs is a breeze, as sweeping off debris, like leaves and dry branches, does not have to be done on a regular basis. Moreover, rot and rust do not stand a chance with this roofing material.

In terms of insulation, roofing made of clay tile protects the house’s interiors from extreme temperatures. Clay tile roofs help to cool down the house during humid weather, and keeps the house warm on cool days. Also, clay tiles promote air circulation between the roof deck and tiles, which prevents a smothering atmosphere in the abode.

Another advantage to installing clay tiles is its ability to withstand different weather conditions. Elements like rain, sunshine, and snow may alter the texture of clay tiles and give them a “weathered” look, but this only adds to the charm of the roof. If a house is located in a city that experiences a lot of rain, an underlayment can be installed to keep off moisture.
