Concrete roof tiles are made of cement, sand, and water. They are heated and molded into smooth pieces that create a dependable surface and an eye-catching design. If you have aging asphalt shingles and are thinking about getting a new roof, concrete tiles are a smart upgrade to make. Below are a few reasons why.

Why Choose Concrete Tile for Your New Roof?

1. Durability

Concrete tile roofs can last as long as a century. They can withstand wind speeds between 60 and 120 miles per hour, and their natural water resistance provides reliable protection from rain, snow, and hail. Concrete also has a high degree of fire resistance, which offers significant safety and peace of mind for every member of the household.

2. Low Maintenance

Because concrete tile is so resistant to the elements, it requires little maintenance. The most pressing tasks are to powerwash the surface on an annual basis to prevent mold and mildew growth and to remove heavy branches and other debris so they don't damage the tiles.

3. Energy Efficiency

Concrete roof tiles do not absorb light; they reflect it. As a result, summertime temperatures inside the home will be cooler and easier to control.

Concrete is also thicker than asphalt shingles, so, in winter, you'll be able to better retain heat from the furnace and keep the inside of the home more comfortable. In both of these scenarios, you'll likely see a reduction in your energy costs as well.

4. Versatile

Not only can this material be any color you wish, but it can also be pressed into designs that resemble other popular options—including wood or clay. As a result, it can match the current aesthetic of your home or give you an all-new curb appeal.
