Tile roofing uses interlocking concrete or clay tiles over a waterproof underlayment and a structural roof deck. Many South Florida homes use it because it handles sun, heat, and rain well when installed correctly. This guide covers the materials, profiles, project steps, and cost drivers, so you can judge what your home needs. ASP Superhome offers tile roofing as part of its complete home solutions for homeowners in Miami, Kendall, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Naples, and Fort Myers.<\/p>\n

What Tile Roofing Is and Who It Suits<\/h2>\n

A tile roof is a layered system, not just a row of tiles. The tiles sit on battens or a tile-attachment system, over underlayment, over the roof deck. The underlayment does much of the work of keeping water out.<\/p>\n

Tile suits homeowners who want a long-lived roof with a traditional or Mediterranean look. It also suits owners who plan to stay in the home for many years.<\/p>\n

Tile is heavier than asphalt shingle or metal. The roof deck and framing must be checked before any installation. If the structure can’t carry the added weight, the plan changes. Metal roofing may fit better for some homes, depending on weight, budget, and existing framing.<\/p>\n\n

Concrete vs. Clay Tile and the Main Profiles<\/h2>\n

Concrete and clay are the two main tile materials. Concrete is made from cement and sand. Its color comes from pigment and coatings. Clay is shaped from natural clay and fired, so its earthy color comes from the material itself. Both need periodic checks for cracks and slipped tiles.<\/p>\n
