Butler Tile Roofs 

In addition to being beautiful, tile roofs have many other qualities which make them a top choice when it comes to any roof installation. 

The reasons why so many residents opt for tile include:

• Tile roofs are long-lasting – Although lots of roofing materials are designed to be stronger in the last few years, there’s a reason why tiled roofs have been used for centuries. They can survive for multiple decades, staying in the same beautiful condition even as they’re passed down to generations.
• Tile roofs require little maintenance – Since tile roofs are so tough, they do not need much regular maintenance. They naturally resist water damage and rot, unlike wood, and will not be harmed by insects or mildew.
• Tile roofs are eco-friendly – Because they are created from natural resources instead of chemical materials, any removed tiles can be easily ground up and recycled. 

Are Tiles Worth the Cost?

Since tile roofs are more expensive than other types of materials, such as asphalt shingles, people may wonder if they are worth the cost of installation. Although tiles are not as cheap initially, it is important to remember the investment will pay off in the long run. Tile roofs take so long to wear out that they rarely need to be replaced within a single century. Even repairs are less expensive since the sturdiness of tiles means they are rarely broken. 

Moreover, their thermal mass makes them excellent at controlling temperatures inside a property, which greatly cuts HVAC costs. Our knowledgeable team at Penn Ohio Roofing & Siding Group would be happy to provide more info about the value of these types of roofs.
