Bre was contacted by two different clients each concerned about the lifetime of their roof tiles now around sixty years old.
New tiles old tiles hiw long to age roof.
Manufacturers of both clay and concrete roof tiles typically guarantee their products for 30 years but often suggest that 60 years is a reasonable expectation of their service life.
The truth is it really should ve been at more like 27 years.
My personal home has a tile roof and it went 32 years before needing to be replaced.
We foolishly spent as much in maintenance and repairs over the last few years of the original roof s life as we did on a new tile roof.
They can last as long as 100 years with proper maintenance although tiles are vulnerable to becoming cracked or loose during high winds like hurricanes.
This roofing option is made of concrete or clay clay being a longer lasting choice.
But hurricanes hail and lack of maintenance can knock years off of the total lifespan of a tile roof.
It is certainly possible that a tile roof could last 40 years.
Clay tiles are typically heavy but not as durable as stone coated steel.
Average lifespan of a tile roof tile roofs can last over 50 years with proper installation.
A less expensive alternative to clay tiles concrete tiles can last 50 years or longer.
