WHY IS TILE ROOFING SO POPULAR IN SOUTH FLORIDA?
2

• South Florida homeowners need to think carefully
  about the type of roofing they select, especially
  as hurricanes and storms can be prevalent at
  certain times of the year. Resistant to
  hurricane-force winds and hail, long lasting, and
  available in a variety of styles and colors, this
  is perhaps why tile roofing continues to be a
  popular choice for residents living in South
  Florida.
• Tile roofs are extremely durable
• Protecting you and your home from Floridas full
  range of elements, from thunder and hail storms,
  to hurricanes and heavy rain, a tile roof can
  handle both strong gusts of wind and sustained
  wind, and withstand higher hurricane-force winds
  than shingles. They are strong and durable, and
  can last for decades, if not centuries, and this
  is perhaps their biggest benefit.

• Note after a hurricane or strong storm, its
  sensible to have your roof checked over by an
  expert, just in case any of the tiles have
  shifted.
• Tile roofs have lower long-term costs
• Costing you a lot less over their lifespan (which
  can be for decades with timely maintenance), tile
  roofs are a more cost-effective option than many
  other roofing types.
• Tile roofing is an ecofriendly option
• Eco-friendly and with a long lifespan that
  reduces the need for roof replacements, clay and
  concrete tiles are a fantastic choice for
  homeowners who are environmentally conscious.

• Tile roofs can be energy efficient when coupled
  with other measures
• While not able to save you money on your energy
  bills alone, when a tile roof is installed
  alongside certain measures within the property
  such as those listed below they can certainly
  help to conserve energy
• A well-insulated attic
• Ample soffits to allow air flow into the attic
• The installation of energy efficient windows and
  AC units to replace older, inefficient models

• What are your tile roof options?
• Available in an array of options, ranging from
  large format to low pitch roof tiles, the most
  common are concrete big barrel tiles, small
  barrel tiles, flat and clay tiles. Which is right
  for you and your south Florida home?
• Clay tiles or concrete tiles?
• Lets look at both options to help you decide
  which tile might be better for your roof

• Clay tiles while these are made of natural
  materials and more ecofriendly than other
  options, they are more expensive and more likely
  to break.
• Concrete tiles more commonly used, these tiles
  are less prone to damage while still looking as
  great as clay tiles. However, they are heavier,
  and may not be appropriate for your type of home.
• A non-obligatory consultation with Atlas Roofing
  will help you determine which type of tile is
  best for your roof, and which will give you and
  your South Florida home the protection you both
