Tile roofing and Arizona are a perfect match. Here's why tile dominates the region:
Tile doesn't deteriorate in extreme heat like asphalt. The airspace under tiles provides natural cooling.
Handles heavy downpours during monsoon season. Channels water efficiently when properly installed.
Terra cotta and earth tones complement desert landscapes beautifully. The natural choice for Southwest architecture.
Tile is heavier than other materials (600-1100 lbs per square). Most newer homes are built to code for tile. Older homes may need structural evaluation. Lightweight concrete tiles are also available.
Clay tiles are kiln-fired with natural colors that never fade. Concrete tiles are molded and colored with pigments. Clay costs more but lasts longer. Concrete offers more color options at lower cost.
Tile roofs are low maintenance. Periodic inspections to check for cracked tiles and clear debris from valleys. Walking on tile should only be done by professionals to avoid breakage.
While tiles can last 100 years, the waterproof membrane underneath typically lasts 20-30 years. It's normal to relay tiles with new underlayment mid-life. Tiles are removed, underlayment replaced, then tiles reinstalled.
