Concrete tile roofing: Unlimited colors and textures with rock-solid engineering

Cement tile roofing from Fidler on the Roof KC comes in a wide variety of aesthetic, durable designs.

These roofs offer a trifecta of beauty, durability and energy efficiency.

Concrete tiles are made from natural materials engineered to create a wide variety of colors and textures. They’re durable, energy efficient and striking in appearance.

You may not be familiar with these tiles, but you’ve certainly seen them. They’re often mistaken for slate or stone. Sleek and stylish, they come in diverse varieties ranging from traditional and vintage to modern. Colors also vary widely.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, concrete tile is among the most durable of roofing surfaces. The raw materials used to create concrete tiles also make them an eco-friendly alternative to oil-based roofing products. They’re made of sand, cement, water and iron oxide (which influences color). These tiles’ durability also means they’ll last for decades and won’t contribute to landfill waste anytime soon.

Is concrete tile right for your roof?
When it comes to selecting a roof and roofing materials, there are three basic considerations: budget, personal preferences and engineering.

Most roofing styles can be equally durable. That means you rarely have to choose appearance over durability.

The engineering of your home and roof is another factor. Not every home can support every material. Slate, tile and cement materials, for example, can weigh 10 pounds per shingle. That means your home must have been engineered so that it can support this weight. Fidler on the Roof KC can assess your home’s ability to support weight.

If your home cannot support the type of roof you want, there are still options. First, we can send a structural engineer to bid on upgrading your home’s roofing support system. If this is not possible or desired, options remain. For example, faux tile and slate roofing (made of durable plastic instead of stone) is an option, as it stone-coated steel. These materials are beautiful and durable, just not as heavy. It’s not often that your make decisions about roofing, so take time to explore the possibilities.
