Baton Rouge Tile Roofing

The Benefits of a Tile Roof

Tile is a very versatile roofing material. It is considered almost permanent, is highly fire-resistant, exhibits a strong texture and provides a beautiful architectural appearance. Tile roofs are normally found on commercial and residential projects  with steep sloped roof areas. Benefits tile roof owners enjoy include:

Longevity

When well-maintained, it is not uncommon for a tile roof to last 50 years or longer depending on the material used.

Apperance

The classic warm look that tile roofs provide is very popular, and they are easily customized.

Efficiency

Unlike shingles which attract heat, glazed tiles deflect it, keeping your home cooler and potentially lowering your energy bill.

Strength

Tile roofs hold up very well against the elements. They are safe from termites and mildew and are completely fire-resistant.

Common Tile Roofing Selections in Baton Rouge


Cribbs provides a tile roofing selection that includes many different materials, profiles, styles, colors and finishes, giving clients a wide range of options to suit their needs and aesthetic preferences. The most commonly used forms of tile roofing include:

CLAY

Traditional tile roofs are made using terra-cotta clay. They offer a timeless style, longevity and perform best in warmer climates.


CONCRETE

Concrete tiles are also durable but may have some problems such as staining or mildew over time. They are less expensive than clay and tend to hold up better in colder weather.
