Tiled Roof Replacement in Chalfont St Giles

Clay and concrete roof tiles are non-combustible and have a Class A fire rating. But a tile roof doesn’t make a home fireproof, However, tile roofing is safer than shingles, wood shake or metal because it allows air circulation under the tile, which reduces heat transfer to the loft during a fire.

A concrete or clay tile roof can reasonably be expected to outlast the building it protects. With that in mind, most manufacturers offer warranties of 50 years or more.

Clay and concrete tiles require very little maintenance and rarely needs any treatment. If necessary, professional roof cleaning can be done to remove moss or other dirt and debris as and when needed.

You’d be surprised. When you factor in cost per year of use, tile roofs are the same or less expensive than several other roofing materials. Both concrete and clay tile roofs outlast most other types of roofing and many clay roofing tiles have remained functional and beautiful for a very long time.

Tile roofs are very good insulators. The combined effect of roof tiles, decking and air space between the tiles allows for better air circulation and reduces direct heat transfer by up to 50%.
