TILE ROOFING

Tile Roofing Materials & System Design

Tile roofing systems are constructed using either clay or concrete roof tiles installed over a waterproof underlayment system. Unlike shingle roofs, tile roofing relies on both the tile surface and the underlying waterproofing layers to manage water, airflow, and thermal performance. Proper installation includes correct tile spacing, fastening methods, flashing integration, and ventilation.

Clay and concrete roof tiles are valued for their durability, weather resistance, and ability to maintain long-term performance when installed according to system design standards.
