Concrete Tiles
Concrete roof tiles were first seen around 1900 in Europe, and over the years their popularity has spread throughout the world.
Concrete tile roofs are popular for many reasons including price, fire protection, strength, durability, heavy weight, and variety of styles available. Concrete tiles tend to be very inexpensive when judging their total cost versus their long life expectancy. These tiles are also non-combustible, so they do not burn when exposed to fire. This type of tile is extremely durable and holds up very well in extreme weather conditions. Concrete tile roofs are very strong and can withstand high wind uplift pressures. While many houses can support their weight with little or no additional reinforcement, the weight of concrete tile roofing is a consideration that should be made before any dwelling is retrofitted with this or any other type of heavyweight material.
Donan Engineering’s team of professional engineers has the knowledge and experience to successfully study concrete tile roofs for proper installation, material defect, wear and tear, storm damage, and other potential causes of roof system failure.
