We Help Your Tile Roofs Last Up to 100 Years

(Newswire.net — April 3, 2016) Wilmington, North Carolina — Among the many roofing types available to protect and enhance your Wilmington home’s roof, tile can be an economical, durable and appealing choice.

Tile Then, Tile Now

Tile is one of the oldest methods of roofing a home. Intact tile roofs dating back hundreds of years still dot the landscape from Asia to Europe and the Americas. Ceramic and concrete tilecan take on many appearances, from the upward curving tiles of Japanese homes to typical Spanish Mission style roofs. Tiles, if properly installed and maintained, can last many decades and resist wind uplift, heavy rains and just about anything nature throws at it.

Benefits of Tile Roofing

Today’s modern roofing tiles come in many styles and compositions:

• Ceramic
• Concrete
• Plastic
• Rubber

Composite materials such as plastic and rubber can be formed to appear as slate, shingles and other materials, but usually weigh considerably less than metal, ceramic or concrete. In addition, modern plastic and rubber tile roofingis usually made with recycled materials, making a tile roof an environmentally friendly choice.

Proper Maintenance

A tile roof requires professional installation and routine maintenance to maintain its structural integrity for a century. Homeowners should avoid walking on their tile roofs (or any roof, for safety reasons) to prevent cracking that can lead to water infiltration.

The professional roofing crews from All Seasons Roofing have the safety harnesses, training and proper tools to walk on and install tile roofingon your Wilmington area home expertly and quickly. More, they can return annually for a careful inspection and any maintenance the tile surface may need.

As the homeowner, you have a vital part to play in keeping your tile roofing material in good shape. You should never climb on your roof, but from the ground you can keep an eye out for issues:

• Discoloration from algae or moss
• Cracked, loose or dislodged tile
• Clogged gutters that can lead to water backing up and infiltrating your walls

If you feel comfortable on a ladder as high as your home’s gutters, you can clean out the gutters and also get a better view of the tiles. Still avoid walking on the tile, as a misplaced foot can crack even a concrete tile. Here you can look for nail pops, flashing problems and water stains that could indicate incipient leaks.
