A tile roof is a beautiful and iconic material for roofing in Florida and for plenty of architecture in warm climates. It is a Mediterranean style that lets out-of-state relatives know they are visiting a relaxed, subtropical zone. It is a classic look that adds distinction to your valued home and acts as an icing on a cake, upgrading all structures that lay below it.

A classic material adding style and substance to your home
A tile roof is one of the oldest, most traditional types of material in the history of all homes. Like brick, it was heavily featured in the ancient world and is also made via great heat in a fire oven. Hailing all the way back to the 3rd millennium BC, during Greece’s Bronze Age, thousands of roof tiles has since been found in Lerna, Greece. It was a dramatic improvement that would last thousands of years, replacing the commonly-used thatched roofs. A tile roof can be traced all the way back to 700 BC at the temples of Apollo and Poseidon. With this valuable leap in technology, this material spread like wildfire throughout the Mediterranean ancient world. Though tiles were a much more labor-intensive material, builders preferred this above and beyond other roofing goods because of its fire resistance.
The benefits of your Florida-appropriate tile roof:
- Aesthetic appeal: The look of this material simply cannot be beat, in particularly for the features typical of an attractive Florida home. Especially if you have a nice in-ground pool with an attractive patio and paver walkways, this material greatly flows with as well as compliments your home’s look. This is a contemporary curb appeal that commands the classic, ancient world Mediterranean reminder.
- Long-lasting: What some may not be aware of is how durable tiles are on rooftops worldwide. These materials may last several decades. As far as maintenance goes, they may need pressure washing every couple of years or so. As will all shingle-based rooftops, what is nice about a tile roof is that you can replace individual shingles on an as-needed basis and not replace an entire section.
- Durability: Tiles can be extremely durable under duress. They are a hard material and can withstand a decent amount of trials such as hail. For the dry seasons in Florida – especially late in the Spring – you will be glad to know that tile is fire-resistant, so if your neighborhood sees fire, any floating embers carrying fire will not spread on your rooftop.
