Spanish Tile Roof Installation

Spanish tile roofing, and nearly any tile roofing, offers unique benefits and features that other roofing materials can’t provide. While some of the perks are shared among materials, this material offers a few specific advantages that make it an excellent option for many homes.

Some of its most notable perks include:

• Energy efficiency: The domed structure of Spanish-style tiles is excellent for energy efficiency. The rounded shape lets warm or cool air escape, helping keep your attic more temperate and, in turn, helping keep your home cooler during the summer and warmer in the winter.
• Fire resistance: Clay, slate, and concrete Spanish-style tile roofs are fire resistant. This bodes well for your home, as it can help protect it from fires by preventing the spread across the roofing material.
• Durability: Tile roofs are highly durable and resistant to damage roofs are often susceptible to. They hold up well under battering winds, heavy rains, and pelting hail, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a durable, low-maintenance option.
• Longevity: Spanish tile roofs are incredibly durable and built to last, often withstanding harsh weather without significant damage. These roofs can last decades, sometimes even up to a century.
• Eco-friendly: Many Spanish roof tiles are made with terracotta clay, a reddish, coarse, and porous clay harvested from the Earth. Since these tiles are made with natural materials, they’re easily recyclable and more eco-friendly than other roofing materials available.
• Unique appearance: Incorporating a Spanish-style tile roof into your home can be an excellent way to help your home stand out. The rusty terracotta clay often used to make these tiles creates a noticeable contrast between your house and surrounding houses clad with grey or black roofs.
