Lexington Roof Tiles

There are many reasons why Lexington homeowners love tile roofing. Some homeowners love the natural look, and the earth friendly materials. Others love the energy saving benefits, and the low maintenance. Still others love the fact that, tragedies aside, they won't have to replace that tile roof again any time in this lifetime! In fact, a tiled roof should last up to 100 years before needing to be replaced!

Why Tile's in Style

While clay roof tiles are still fairly new to the U.S., unless you're in the southern states, they've actually been in use for centuries in places like Greece and Asia. Until fairly recently, clay roof tiles were actually hand chiseled, and shaped in many different ways to fit together. In fact, even before the idea was to create tiles, people were using clay to coat the roofs of their homes! Nowadays, you can find clay roofing tiles in a number of colors, though the size and shape varieties are pretty limited. Tile roofs are also created by using concrete tiles, and terra cotta tiles.

Tiled roofs are great at resisting rain, hail, and wildlife. In fact, the most commonly seen damage to clay tiles is wind damage, and even then we here in Kentucky rarely see winds strong enough to do much damage. On the other hand, air being able to circulate below the tiles is one of the reasons why roof tiles are so energy efficient! The air gets warmed under the summer sun, and the clay tiles are designed to cycle in cooler air while pushing away the heat. In the wintertime, the air gaps below the tiles create a sort of pocket between your home, and the cold of the outdoors.
