Choose the best tile for your home isn’t easy. You’ll want to narrow down on the right material that suits your property, location and lifestyle. Kirtley and Sons Roofing, the leading residential roof repair company, discusses the four top tile types in this post.
Copper
Copper is widely known for its service life, lasting over 100 years. It provides excellent durability and great appearance even in harsh weather. Such impressive features come with a price higher than its contemporaries, however. Still, considering the benefits you’ll receive with a copper roof, it’s a great investment that pays for itself in the long run.
Composite
A composite tile is composed of multi-layered metals, acrylic and stone granules. These materials make the composite tile lightweight and cost-effective. It’s the ideal choice for homeowners looking for affordability without looking too cheap or low-cost.
Ceramic
This tile roof material has become popular in residential roof installation because of its fireproof properties, durability, minimal maintenance and attractiveness. At first, ceramic roofs only came in one color, terracotta, but these days, ceramic tile roofs now have various colors, shapes and sizes to fit any style.
Concrete
Concrete tiles have similar characteristics as ceramic tiles, but they are sturdier against wind-driven rain. This is an excellent roofing material that lasts for a long time. The only setback of concrete tile roofs is their weight.
