Before you browse the variety of color and style options available for tile roofing, you’ll need to decide on the type of tile roofing you put on your home. Roof tile material refers to the substance used in making roofing tiles. These tiles can be crafted from various materials such as clay, concrete, slate, metal, or composite materials.
There are two main types of tile roofing shingles that you’ll need to know about:
Clay is the original, time-tested material used in tile roofing. It is made by molding, dyeing, and baking clay. Depending on how long the tiles are "fired" in a kiln, the density changes. Tile typically comes in shades of yellow, white, brown, and orange. The high temperature required to bake clay tiles gives them a lifetime of vibrant color—so, they'll never peel or fade!
Concrete tiles are made with a mixture of sand, cement, and water that is finished using heat and pressure. It just as versatile as clay and comes in a variety of colors. Concrete is available in two styles; Flat Slate/Shake style, or Mediterranean/Spanish S curve style.
Tile roofing is an unrivaled choice for functionality and versatility—but this level of quality comes at a cost.
