Slating and tiling are the most commonly used methods for roofing construction and are widely available in a range of different sizes and material compositions. Each has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, so it would be to your benefit to plan and select your roofing style well in advance.
Here’s a rundown of slating and tiling as well as the advantages of each.
Tile Installation
Available typically in concrete or clay, roofing tiles can be a great option for a modern house as they’re available in a wide range of colours and designs. Our experienced roof tile contractor can help provide you with options suitable for you. Think Spanish or Italian architecture when picking out a tile roof design.
Durable and resistant, roofing tiles can also be easy to install as they consist typically of interlocking tiles. Adjustments will need to be made for areas such as roof vents. Aside from vents, you’ll also need to consider placement of battens such that rainwater can freely pass off the tiles. Counter battens are used whenever the roof is pitched to achieve this effect.
The flatter the tiles are, the easier they are to install. Dense concentrations of tiles will of course cost more and weigh substantially more, but can provide greater protection. Roofing tar can be used to repair exposed areas if you opt for less dense patterns.
Due to their durability and resilience, expect tiled roofs installed by a roof tile contractor to last up to 50 years.
