Why Are Tile Roofs So Common in Florida?

Why Are Title Roofs So Common in Florida?

A quick drive through nearly any housing development or subdivision in Florida will prove tile roofing is one of the most common types of roofs you’ll find on homes throughout the state. According to local building officials, tile roofing is actually the most common style of roof on homes here in Palm Beach County, especially in upscale developments.

So why exactly is tile roofing so common in Florida?

Among many other factors, tile roofing is widely considered to be the most durable form of roof currently available to home builders. Protecting a home against the high-winds and heavy rains any tropical environment experiences goes a long way in saving money on repair costs, or even replacement costs of a lower performance roofing material.

Additionally, clay and concrete tile roofs are a much more cost-effective option over the long-term. The lifespan of a tile roof can range anywhere from 50 to 100 years, or even longer in some cases. In fact, most tile roof manufacturers even offer a minimum 50 year warranty of the product due to its strong durability. So aside from its unique appearance and desirable look on so many Florida homes for sale, the major reason most homes here feature an attractive looking tile roof isn’t for aesthetic purposes, but rather its long-lasting potential that’s commonly needed because of south Florida’s unpredictable tropical climate.
