Why Metal Roofs are Better Than Tile Roofs


When choosing a roofing system, it’s important to get it right. After all, a roof is what protects all that is important to you, from your family and pets to your belongings and memories.

There are several reasons why metal roofs are superior to tile roofs:

  • Metal roofs are lighter. Metal roofs are extremely lightweight. Tile roofing is a much heavier roofing material that may require your home to have a thicker support system.
  • Metal roofs are more durable. Metal roofs are composed of some of the strongest materials on the planet, hence their preponderance in buildings and support structures. They are designed to withstand extreme weather, such as hail, wind storms, fallen branches and debris. Furthermore, they’re made to last a lifetime. Mastershake Roofing Systems offers a 50-year warranty on all roof installations. Tile roofs, on the other hand, while durable, tend to break and crack easily, especially in golf-ball sized hail storms.
  • Metal roofs are lower maintenance than tile roofs. Metal roofs have virtually no maintenance besides an annual roofing inspection. Once installed, they do their job, and they do it very well. Tile roofs, on the other hand, tend to develop cracked tiles that need replacing, a labourious process since they have to be replaced one by one and the roofer has to be extremely careful when walking on tile roofs as the tiles may break under pressure. Tile roofs also must be cleaned regularly.
  • Metal roofs are easier to install. Due to the tendency of tiles to break, tile roofs are extremely time-consuming to install, which increases the overall price of your roofing installation. Mastershake Roofing System is a proprietary metal roofing system made of interlocking metal sheets that are easily installed over existing shingle roofing materials. Compared to a tile roof installation, Mastershake roofs are installed in under half the time.
