There are lots of options for roof materials here in the UK but one of the ones you might not have heard as much about is concrete roof tiles.  So what are the benefits of this type of roofing that makes them worth considering if you are re-roofing your home?

Concrete Roof Tiles are an excellent eco-friendly option for any type of roof – from a lightweight single-storey extension to a heavyweight three-storey family building. Concrete tiles are manufactured using traditional methods where they are mixed together and baked to create the tile.

Concrete roof tiles offer a number of benefits: they are light, easy to install and don't require any special lifting equipment. They also have excellent thermal properties, which is one of the reasons why they were originally developed.

They are made with the same kind of materials as tough concrete driveways but shaped into roof tiles.  This means they are long-lasting and can be walked on without risk of damage so work for flatter roofs in the right shape. Concrete roof tiles are also non-combustible and have high resistance to wind, rain, snow, heat and UV rays.

There is a wide range of colours available with different finishes from smooth to textured too, so you can choose any style that suits your home perfectly. There is also a wealth of different patterns available so you can create something really unique to your home.
