Roof tile comes in many shapes and sizes. Most people think of tile as being either ceramic or clay. On todays market concrete roof products are also known as roof tile. Whether it is clay or ceramic or cement there are many styles,shapes and colors to choose from. If your project is a re-roof, you can change the appearance of the building with your choice of tile.

If you like a Spanish or Mediteranian look you may want to use clay. Clay roof tile is not just clay red it too comes in several colors. Clay colors are natural colors not surface paint.There is such a wide variety of cement tile it is hard to describe all of them. There is the spanish look in cement. There is also a slate look and a shake look and one tile with a mediteranian look. Whatever appearance or color you are looking for in a roof there is probably a concrete tile that will suit your needs.

Another very good quality of a tile roof is that it is fire retardant. If burning embers fall on your roof from a nearby fire they will not ignite your roof. Insurance companys think this is great! Some of them will give you a lower rate because your roof is fire retardant.

Many people think tile is too heavy for their house. Most concrete tile comes in standard weight and light weight. Light weight tile is light enough to go on any home. Even if the home is designed for composition shingles. We will be glad to show you tile roofs locally that we have installed.

What is more beautiful or aesthetically pleasing than a natural slate roof? A slate roof is one of the most durable roofing materials available. When properly installed, and maintained, a slate roof will last for hundred's of years. The specific life of a slate roof is dependent upon a lot of variables and we would be happy to discuss specifics with you.

Metal roofing has been around for quite awhile. Metal roofing was most commonly used on barns. Barn metal has exposed fasteners and screws holding it in place. It works fine for barns but it would be out of place on a home or commercial building.

The type of metal we install is called an easy lock standing seam system. This system is manufactured by Taylor metal products. This metal roof system comes in 24ga & 26ga which is a true thickness.

We, at Gibbs Roof Company, can either use copper galvalum, zincalum,or painted systems. The painted metal systems are covered by a fifty year warranty against rust. The paint is Kynar 500 and is warranted against chipping,fading and cracking or peeling for thirty years. These metal roof systems come in a wide variety of colors and have ultimate durability under the most extreme conditions.

Another reason we like metal roof systems is that they are self cleaning. Metal roofs appear new much longer than most other types of roofs. They are less likely to allow snow and ice build up. Taylor metal products insure their roof systems to be moss free. Another quality of a metal roof is weight, metal roofs weigh very little compared to other types of roof materials.
