Why Tile Roofs Have A Better Life Expectancy Than Others

When it’s time to replace your roof, you have a lot of choices to make. One of the most important decisions is what type of roofing material to use. While there are many options, tile roofs have some major benefits that other types of roofs can’t beat. Here are three reasons why tile roofs last longer than other types of roofs.

A tile roof is a type of roofing material that is made from ceramic or terra cotta tiles. Tiles are usually rectangular in shape and are set in mortar on top of a layer of wooden boards, known as sheathing. Tile roofs are popular in warmer climates, where they can help to keep homes cool by deflecting the sun’s heat. They are also durable and long-lasting, often lasting for half a century or more.

In the United States, tile roofs have a life expectancy of about 50 years, while metal roofs only last for about 20 years and asphalt shingles last for about 30 years. There are several reasons why tile roofs have a longer life expectancy than other types of roofs. 

First, tile is a very durable material that can withstand extreme weather conditions, such as high winds and heavy rain. Second, tile roofing is fire-resistant and can protect your home in the event of a fire. Third, tile roofing is insect-resistant and will not be damaged by insects or rodents. Finally, tile roofing is resistant to fading and will maintain its color over time. If you are considering installing a new roof on your home, consider choosing a tile roof, because it will last and look beautiful.
