A tile roof is a costly upfront investment, especially if you opt for clay tiles rather than concrete ones. However, clay tiles offer many great benefits including:
Non-combustible, Class A-rated assemblies available
50-year service life for concrete, up to 100 years for clay
Thermal mass and batten-space ventilation reduce heat transfer
Will not rot, warp, or attract pests
Minimal maintenance beyond periodic inspection
High wind resistance when installed to manufacturer’s specification
Wide range of profiles: slate, shake, Spanish mission
Fully recyclable at the end of life

Clay tile can last up to 100 years. Concrete typically runs around 50. Either way you are buying a roof you are unlikely to replace, which is the main argument for the higher upfront cost. Regardless of the sometimes unpredictable weather in Colorado, tile roofing in Denver will remain durable.
Clay is fired from natural clay and is fully recyclable when it eventually comes off. Concrete tile is available in profiles that imitate shake and slate at a lower cost.
Both clay and concrete reduce heat transfer, partly through thermal mass and partly because tile is installed over battens, leaving an air space above the deck that a shingle roof does not have. The actual effect on your energy bills depends on your attic insulation and ventilation. Clay tile roofing is a very stylish alternative to conventional shingles and has a uniquely natural look and feel. It’s also a great choice for today’s modern, design-conscious properties, as well as for eco-friendly homes.
Although tile roofs have a higher initial cost, they also have an average lifespan that is twice as long as shingles. This makes them a worthwhile investment in the long run.
Clay roof tile represents top-quality roofing, with the highest standard of sustainability and craftsmanship. Its noteworthy features include:
Concrete roof tile is both beautiful and enduring, making them an effortless choice to complement your lifestyle and increase the value of your home. This tile offers:
A tile roof is a long-term decision. For many homeowners, it is the last roof they buy for the house, though the underlayment beneath it will need replacing before the tile does, typically at 20 to 30 years. We will explain that maintenance cycle upfront, so the lifetime cost is clear before you decide.
