What Is Terracotta Tile Roofing?
The reddish-orange rounded tiles you often see on Mediterranean villas are terracotta tiles. These tiles were first used because of their ability to channel water off the roof effectively as well as being completely fire-resistant, a very important feature in early towns and cities.
Terracotta Tile roofing is made out of a natural, kiln-dried clay that resists heat from the sun better than most other materials and can be completely water-resistant to avoid snow and ice damage in cooler climates. So although these clay tiles are most commonly seen on Mediterranean style buildings, they can complement almost any style of home.
Hiring A Professional With Experience
