Concrete vs Clay Roofing Tiles
If you’re considering concrete roofing tiles, then you’ve likely come across clay roofing tiles as well. It’s easy to see why, as both of these materials share many similarities. However, they are not identical in appearance and their performance also varies. Some of the most noticeable differences to consider when making your choice include:
Weight
Price
Concrete tiles are more affordable than clay, which makes them a great option if you have a limited budget.
Water Absorption
Concrete tiles absorb around 13% of water while clay absorbs around 6%. While this isn’t a big difference, concrete can make your roof more susceptible to mold growth. Fortunately, if you live in a dry area or clean your roof often, this shouldn’t be an issue and concrete tiles will work just fine.
Durability
Clay is known to crack in extremely cold weather, so it may not be a good choice if you live in a climate where freezing is common. Fortunately, concrete is suitable for freezing temperatures, so you can have it on your home no matter the climate.
Concrete Tile Roofing Styles & Colors
One of the benefits of concrete tile is that it comes in so many different styles and colors for homeowners and commercial business owners to choose from. This makes it incredibly easy to find something that suits your taste and style. While many homeowners choose to have flat concrete tile, barrel shapes are also popular because they add depth and texture to the home. These tiles can also be made to be smooth, textured, blended colors, patterned, or with ragged edges. Additionally, concrete tiles can be custom made to simulate other materials, including wood shape and slate.
If you are looking for a specific color of roof, your concrete tiles can be painted in that way. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the paint may need to be maintained over time. This can help avoid fading that naturally happens and keep the color looking fresh and vibrant. If you want something easy to maintain, talk to your roofer about the best choice for your climate.

Metal Roof Systems (For Commercial Buildings)
Commercial buildings that have slopes aren’t limited to shingles. Many owners choose metal because it’s it can handle a lot of snow and water without any moisture pooling in one area and causing water damage. Metal can also provide a tight seal to keep moisture out of the structure and make it more energy-efficient.
Hire an Expert Team for Concrete Tile Roofing
If you’re ready to have a concrete tile roof installed on your home or business, then you’re in the right place. At Action 1 Roofing, we have years of experience helping our customers find the right tile roofing options for your home. Here’s how we’ll help.
Inspection
A roof inspection is an important first step in having your concrete roof installed. This tells the roofer if repairs are necessary, how much space there is to cover, and if the roof is a good candidate for the weight of concrete. We help with the inspection process by finding a local roofer that can help you. We thoroughly vet each partner we work with to ensure you get the best service possible.
Repair
You can’t install a concrete roof on a deck that is weak or in need of any type of repairs. If any work is necessary, your roofer will let you know what they found during the inspection. Action 1 Roofing helps by finding roofers that have vast experience with all types of roofing repairs. They’ll give you accurate and honest information about the work you need to have done.
Replacement and Re-Roof
If a roof replacement is a better option, your roofer will let you know. They’ll also tell you if re-roofing is a possibility. Our goal at Action 1 Roofing is to give you options that fit within your budget and needs, which can make it much less stressful to have roofing work done.
