Clay tiles are some of the most durable roofing materials on the market. Concrete tiles have also become popular because of their durability and properties. Here are the pros and cons of each of them.
Clay tiles
It is known that clay tiles can last up to 100 years. They are very durable, and resistant to fire, color fade, pests and environmental factors. One of the disadvantages is that they can be very expensive. They are also very heavy and can add up to the costs, because you may need to change the roof structure. Hire a contractor and see if your roof can withstand the weight of the tiles. Clay tiles are difficult to work with and can be quite complicated to insulate your roof.
Concrete tiles
Concrete tiles are great because they can imitate other roofing materials. They can be made to look like clay tiles, for example. They are quite cheap and can be found in a wide variety of colors and styles. They do not weigh much, making them great for small roofs.
