Typically clay tiles are said to be cooler than cement and more durable... cost wise I'm not so sure... I think cement is cheaper but its just my assumption.

QUOTE(dreamer101 @ Sep 25 2007, 09:54 AM) All, Dreamer, these are the basics of it..Could someone please tell me what are the pro and cons of clay roof tiles versus cement roof tiles?? Thanks in advance. Dreamer Clay (terracotta) roof tiles generally have better fire resistance than concrete roof tiles, because they're burned at high temperature.. Clay is also a better at preventing the transfer of heat and sound because of its light weight.. On the other hand, concrete tiles are cheaper than clay tiles, and come in more attractive colors than clay.. But with time, clay will be less vulnerable to damage by weather conditions compared to concrete.. |
