Concrete Tile Roofing 
​

          The tiles available in concrete come in many colors, and shapes include the half-barrel, S-shape, interlocking, and flat. They have a life expectancy of 50 to 100 years, but since they are very heavy the roof must be constructed to support additional weight. They are similar in expense to wood roofing but life expectancy is much longer and its fire resistance is exceptional.
Durability- Most concrete tile manufactures do not recommend walking on them due to a high probability of damage. For this reason, the tiles sometimes are pre-fitted to 2 by 6-foot boards which are then nailed to solid plywood roof sheathing or the decking. 
Expense and Lifespan- They are similar in expense to wood roofing but life expectancy is much longer and its fire resistance is exceptional.

Efflorescence-  ​The Concrete tile over time develops a chalky deposit on its surface called efflorescence. Efflorescence dulls the sheen of the tiles surface, but does not affect the structural integrity. Manufacturers suggest buffing tiles with a clean rag to restore shine (we really cannot see people doing this) or after installation the roof could be coated with a clear primer.
