Roof tiles aren’t floor tiles, but instead they’re designed to keep the rain or snow off your property, and the overlaps in them have a purpose, and can be made from different materials.
Concrete tiles are crafted with dense and low porosity, to protect from freezing and freezing and extreme winters. And if that’s not enough color options, there are endless!
Clay Tile
For roof tiles, clay tile is a beautiful choice because it’s warm terracotta and classic Mediterranean. Also great for Spanish, Mission and Southwest architectural style are clay tiles.
The tiles are made of clay, which were used to seal houses against the elements. These semi-circular shaped are perfect for creating a shingle look and distinguish your home.
: Tile roofs can last a long time, but they are difficult to deal with. These are some reasons that could shorten its life:
It is of the highest importance to have a strong, protective underlayment installed on any tile roof as a leak can occur if tree branches touch it, or climbing plants rub on it and pull tiles loose, or workers slip and fall on its ridge or hips.
Concrete Tile
Concrete tiles are perfect for homeowners of industrial designs because it’s a stylish and economical way to make their home look industrial. The tiles are manufactured using cement, small stones and water, these tiles can also be painted for further customization to get certain colors or looks.
Concrete tiles can be quite strong and can be maintained for 50 years or more. They reflect solar heat to maintain temperatures and offer energy savings in terms of energy costs. Not only that, but they have solid fire insurance protection that could lower home insurance rates.
Concrete tiles can be made to look like clay, wood shake, slate or stone. Concrete tiles at ARTO are completely coloured using cutting-edge liquid pigments that will remain colourless all over the tile.
Concrete roof tiles look like terracotta tiles with a little more versatility. They can offer a variety of profiles to provide architecturally interesting variations and their ridges and channels channel roof water. But because concrete tiles are much heavier than their clay siblings, you need reinforced buildings on top to stay stable.
Ceramic Tile
Ceramic roof tile not only keeps roof floors free from water and dust that the wind carries while giving it a stunning decorative look. Various colours, designs and dimensions for any desired design; glazed or unglazed for different sheen and textures – there are numerous ways to decorate and cover roof floors with ceramic tiles for roof protection and decorating.
Ceramic bodies are made of fine-grained clays and minerals that are fired to create a very hard and hygienic substance. Feldspar can also be used as a flux to lower the firing temperature and shorten production times to save energy.
Glazed ceramic tile is a reliable waterproofing solution, and when done right it’s also comfortable for high traffic areas, easy to clean and keep looking good. But its surface gets stained and sealing it every so often is very necessary to keep it beautiful.
