Arguably the most aesthetically appealing
roofing system, tile roofing is a
specialization of Madsen Roof Company.
Generally produced in concrete or
clay, tile roofing is available in
a spectrum of pigments and finishes
— empowering architects and
building owners with sophisticated
design options.
Although the initial installation
costs can substantially exceed alternative
steep-slope commercial roofing systems,
tile roofs are known to have a life
span that exceeds 50 to 80 years.
With minimal maintenance requirements,
the durability and appeal of tile
roofing affords a higher commercial
real estate resale values. As sun,
rain, snow, and hail are no match
to tile roofing, insurance companies
are known to offer significant discounts
— yet another ROI benefit of
tile roofing.
Naturally satisfying green roofing
standards, tile roofing mitigates
direct solar heat transfer. In fact,
according to the National Roofing
Contractors Association, tile roofing
can reduce peak-season cooling cost
by 50%, due to the enhanced ventilation
and reflectivity. Even during the
winter months, properly installed
tile roofing can deliver stable building
temperatures — additionally
reducing the risks associated with
freezing temperatures.
With the technological advancements
in the manufacturing of roofing materials
tile roofing has become a much lighter
commercial roofing system. Most roof
replacement projects can support the
weight of tile roofing, although Madsen
Roof Company recommends an inspection
of the existing roofing system —
all the way down to the roof deck.
As commercial and industrial business
become much more environmentally aware,
tile roofing systems are accepted
as the “cleanest.” Made
form natural resources, most quality
tile roofing does not contain any
hazardous chemical, unlike modified
bitumen and foam applications. Furthermore,
tile roofing an be recycled and applied
to new roofing systems.
