Concrete tile roofing combines the timeless beauty of traditional tile with modern manufacturing precision and versatility. At Faircloth Roofing Inc., we've been installing concrete tile roofs across the Triangle area for over 48 years, helping homeowners achieve their dream aesthetic while enjoying decades of reliable protection.

The Concrete Tile Advantage

Unlike clay tiles that are limited to traditional profiles and earth tones, concrete tiles can be manufactured to replicate virtually any roofing material. Want the look of Spanish terracotta? Natural slate? Wood shake? Concrete tiles can deliver these aesthetics with superior impact resistance and at a more accessible price point.

Modern concrete tiles are manufactured from a precise mixture of Portland cement, sand, and water, reinforced with fibers and formed under high pressure. This process creates tiles that are:

  • Dimensionally consistent - Precision manufacturing ensures uniform fit
  • Color-integrated - Integral pigments throughout the tile, not just surface
  • Highly durable - Concrete strengthens over time
  • Weather-resistant - Tested for extreme conditions

Concrete Tile Roofing FAQs

How long do concrete tile roofs last?
Concrete tile roofs typically last 50-75+ years when properly installed and maintained. The concrete tiles themselves can last even longer, though underlayments may need replacement at the 30-50 year mark.
Can concrete tiles mimic other roofing materials?
Yes, one of concrete tile's greatest advantages is its versatility. Modern manufacturing techniques allow concrete tiles to accurately replicate clay tile, natural slate, wood shake, and other premium roofing materials at a lower cost.
Are concrete tiles as heavy as clay tiles?
Concrete tiles are similar in weight to clay tiles, ranging from 900-1,200 pounds per square (100 sq ft). Your roof structure must be engineered to support this weight, which we assess during your free consultation.
Do concrete tile colors fade over time?
Concrete tiles can experience some color fading over time, especially with surface-applied colors. However, modern integral coloring and factory-applied coatings significantly reduce fading. Many manufacturers offer 50-year color warranties.
How do concrete tiles compare to clay in cost?
Concrete tiles are typically 20-40% less expensive than clay tiles while offering similar aesthetics and durability. This makes concrete an excellent value proposition for homeowners wanting the tile look without the premium price.
Can concrete tiles withstand hail and impact?
Yes, concrete tiles are highly impact-resistant and can achieve Class 4 hail ratings (the highest available). Their dense composition allows them to withstand impacts that would damage other roofing materials.
