When homeowners imagine replacing their roofs, one of the first things that comes to mind for most is asphalt shingles. They are the standard of the North American roofing industry and most homeowners choose to have them installed on their homes. However, there are many other materials that homeowners trust to protect their homes, from rubber, to metal, to slate. One option that’s a bit less conventional is clay tile roofing. Clay makes a wonderful roofing option that more homeowners may want to consider for their homes. Take a look at the benefits that clay tile roofing offers below:
Aesthetics and Versatility
If you’ve been looking for a roofing material that will help your home stand out from the other homes on the street, clay tile is a wonderful choice. It is an uncommon roofing option that isn’t seen very often in the Northeast. This makes home’s with clay tile roofing very desirable and noteworthy.
Beyond the fact that it is an unconventional option which provides curb appeal, clay tiles are also available in a variety of colors, although many homeowners choose to install natural looking tiles. Clay tiles are highly customizable, from shape to color, which makes them a fantastic option if you have a particular aesthetic vision in mind for your home.
Energy Efficiency
Clay tiles are thick, which means they will help to regulate your home’s internal temperature. If you are interested in installing a roofing material that can help cut down on your home’s energy bills, clay tiles are a great choice.
Environmentally Friendly
If you’re interested in installing an environmentally friendly roofing option, clay tiles are a great choice. Unlike asphalt shingles which require the use of fossil fuels to manufacture, clay tiles are completely natural, and at the end of their lifespan they can be ground up, recycled, and re-purposed.
Durability
Tile roofs are one of the most durable, long-lasting roofing materials on the market, which makes them a fantastic option if you are interested in replacing your roof once and not having to worry about it again. A well-installed clay tile roof can last up to a century in the right conditions. Furthermore, clay tiles are known to withstand hail, fire, and high winds, which makes them a great option for windy Massachusetts.
