Roof Tile

Concrete and clay roof tile systems add proven durability and neighborhood character when the structure, fastening strategy, and flashings are matched correctly. We inspect framing and deck readiness before final tile selection.

System Components

Underlayment (heavier duty)

Flashings

Battens

Closures

Starter perimeter

Valley details

System organization

Concrete Tile

Heavier concrete tile profiles with broader spans and excellent freeze-thaw and impact performance when bedded with reinforced underlayment.

Clay Tile

Clay tile assemblies balancing classic appearance with strong detailing around valleys, copings, and transitions for long service life.

Accessory products

Clay clip closure set

Tile closure

Pre-finished tile closure hardware selected for consistent alignment where tile courses intersect parapets and flashings. We use this where tile geometry needs extra restraint during seasonal movement.

  • Clay tile runs
  • Parapet projects
  • Historic profiles
  • Uniform perimeter lock
  • Weather-driven movement control
  • Parapet-safe geometry
  • Reduced gap variation
  • Consistent edge finish

Concrete tile underlayment

Underlayment kit

Reinforced underlayment kit built for tile weight and concentrated point loads across eaves and low-vent areas. We set this with proper overlaps and fastener schedules for future tile maintenance.

  • Concrete tile
  • Long runs
  • Aging tile roofs
  • Reinforced membrane
  • Point load stability
  • Eave protection
  • Tile-grade compatibility
  • Moisture management

Manufacturer Options

Boral

Material lines with broad architectural options for concrete tile, including weather-resilient profiles.

Boral TerraLine

Concrete tile system

Concrete tile system with a durable glaze and stable color path for projects where appearance, texture, and long-term maintenance reduction are priorities. Full deck and flashing details are planned by slope category.

  • High exposure roofs
  • Mid-rise to large homes
  • Stable glaze
  • Color hold
  • Impact-tolerant profile
  • Roof geometry tuned
  • Consistent fastening

Monier

Clay and concrete tile family products with strong profile consistency across residential scale.

Monier Heritage

Tile roof system

A tile profile that balances traditional visual depth and practical drainage behavior. We integrate underlayment and flashing so water transitions stay controlled around valleys and edge terminations.

  • Clay tile renovations
  • Architectural neighborhoods
  • Traditional tile profile
  • Controlled runoff behavior
  • Heritage-compatible color
  • Balanced venting interface
  • Service-friendly transitions

California availability

Availability varies by supplier and branch location. We source materials through California distributors based on your project needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can tile be installed over a standard asphalt assembly?

No. Tile assemblies require specific deck preparation, lath support, and flashing strategy. We evaluate structure and install compatible interfaces before tile selection.

Is concrete tile lighter than clay tile?

No. Both materials require careful structure and support checks. The choice is driven by climate exposure, design profile, and budget.

How do tile roofs handle drainage in heavy rain?

Tile roofs depend heavily on slope, overlap, and flashing continuity. We engineer drains and closures so water exits consistently from planned outlets.
