Clay Tile is one of the oldest types of roofs and, from a global perspective, the most widely used materials for roofing. When properly maintained, a tile roof can last 100 years or more, withstand hurricane-force winds, reduce demand on heating and cooling systems, and retain its original beauty throughout the lifespan. Tile is the material of choice for certain architectural styles, including Mediterranean and contemporary. It is a more common choice in sunny locations, perhaps due to its insulating properties. There are a couple of requirements, however, that should be considered before selecting tile for a new roof. First, tile is much heavier than other types of roofing material, and the structure must be strong enough to support it. If the structure was not originally designed to support the weight of clay tile, then additional supports may be required in order to install it. Secondly, tile is significantly more expensive than other types of roofing. For many, the upfront cost is easily justified by the expected lifespan, insulating properties, and beauty of the product.
