Why We Like It
If you're thinking about clay tile, slate, concrete or metal roofing, talk to your neighbors first to find out the truth about the actual costs of installation and repair — if they'll admit it to you. Don't forget the extra costs of structural engineering, rubber membranes and highly skilled labor. Working on a traditional slate, concrete or metal roof to repair a fallen tree or to install a solar panel, chimney or satellite dish is not only risky but also very expensive.
Recycled rubber tile is virtually indestructible and impervious to the elements, plus it looks just like real clay tile. It requires no special engineering and installs with less expensive labor. Working on this roof to repair damages is far less risky and results in less damage to the tradesperson and to the roof.
These tiles are perfect for coastal homes, resort-style buildings, and anyone who wants the relaxed elegance of a clay roof — built to last in any climate.
