Top 5 reasons to install concrete roof tiles

Are you planning to change your old and weak roof tiles? If yes, then consider installing the latest concrete roof tiles. Out of the options available, many homeowners choose concrete tiles because they offer a number of great benefits. Here is a list of reasons why should you install concrete tiles over others:

Fire resistant

As concrete roof tiles are made by mixing various elements such as sand, pigment and cement, they can easily withstand fire. The manufacturing process of concrete roof tiles makes them non-combustible in nature. This is one of the main reasons why they can be used in fire-prone places.

Less expensive

Compared to other roofing materials like clay tiles, concrete roof tiles are commonly seen on many homes because they are reasonable. This means that they are ideal for people who want to replace roof tiles and have a lower budget.

Offers versatility

To fulfil various needs and tastes, concrete roof tiles are available in different colours, designs, textures and styles. So, you can choose the type which suits the exterior of your home.

Durable in nature

Unlike other roofing materials, concrete roof tiles are manufactured in such a way that they can last for many years. They can also withstand hail storm, rain, winds and extreme temperature. This means that once you have installed these tiles then there is no need to replace them for another 20 years.

Low maintenance

Concrete roof tiles are made in such way that they can resist deterioration and rotting. Once you have installed these tiles over your roof top then there is no need to worry about regular cleaning and maintenance.
