Tile is one of the most beautiful and longest lasting roofing systems in the world. It is used in both residential and commercial applications all over the world and comes in a variety of styles and colors in concrete and clay.

Concrete vs. Clay Roof Tiles

While concrete is the most popular and economical, clay has a longer colorfastness, a nicer finish, last longer, and stays waterproof longer than concrete. The disadvantage of clay is that it can be up to twice the price of concrete.

Slate Roofing

Slate is the longest lasting and most expensive roof out for steep slope roofing. Slate is fire resistant, the longest lasting and is a green roof. The famous Biltmore House in Ashville, NC was built with slate. The roofing manufacturer gave the owner, Mr. Vanderbilt, a 500 year warranty. You will find slate on some of the nicest homes, country clubs and businesses in the world. Castles and cathedrals are built with slate. So what is slate? Slate is essentially hardened mud from a rock called shale. Slate comes in a variety of colors and is arguably the most beautiful roof money can buy. Slate is also very heavy. You must have a roof structure strong enough to support a slate roof. Usually an engineer can verify this for you. Slate must be used with copper flashing. Moss is the enemy of slate and can eat right through it. Copper flashing prevents the moss from growing and damaging the slate.
