Clay tile roofing is a popular roofing material known for its durability, energy efficiency, and distinctive, rustic appearance. Traditionally made from natural clay fired at high temperatures, these tiles come in various styles, including Spanish, mission, and flat tiles, allowing for versatility in architectural designs. One of clay tile’s key advantages is its resistance to extreme weather conditions, such as high heat, heavy rains, and strong winds, making it particularly popular in warm or coastal climates. It also offers excellent insulation, helping reduce indoor temperatures and energy costs. While clay tiles can last 50 to 100 years or more, their weight requires a sturdy roof structure, and the installation and repair process can be complex and expensive. Despite these challenges, homeowners appreciate clay tiles for their low maintenance, natural appeal, and ability to age gracefully over time.
