Clay vs. Concrete Tiles: Which Is Right for You?

When timeless elegance meets century-long durability, you get clay and concrete roof tiles. These premium roofing materials have graced homes for thousands of years, and at Altair Austin Roofing Company, we bring that same Old World craftsmanship to modern Austin homes.

Clay tiles offer unmatched beauty with their natural terracotta colors that never fade. They're lighter than concrete and ideal for authentic Spanish or Mediterranean aesthetics. Concrete tiles provide similar durability at a lower cost, with more color options and styles available.

Both options excel in Austin's climate, providing natural insulation against summer heat and excellent protection from hail and storms. Our experts will help you choose the perfect tile type, profile, and color to complement your home's architecture.
