Tile roofs are well-suited for Florida’s subtropical climate, where seasonal storms, intense heat, and high humidity put roofing materials to the test. Made from durable clay or concrete, tile roofs are inherently resistant to rot, insect damage, and UV degradation. Often rated to withstand gusts of up to 150 mph or more, their high wind resistance is a strong defense against hurricanes and tropical storms.

Tile roofs natural water-shedding design and ability to be installed on slopes that promote proper drainage help them perform well under heavy rain.

Tile is a non-combustible material, which adds an extra layer of protection during lightning storms or brush fire events. Perhaps most importantly, the inherent thermal mass of tile helps regulate indoor temperatures by reducing heat transfer through the roof, which can significantly lower air conditioning usage and result in energy savings year-round.
