The Benefits of Clay Roof Tiles from On Top
Exceptional Longevity
Clay roof tiles can last 50 years or more! Their resistance to rot, insect damage, and UV degradation makes them a cost-effective investment over time, and you’ll also need less frequent repairs or replacements.
Superior Weather Resistance
These tiles can withstand extreme weather conditions, including heavy rain, high winds, and intense sun exposure. So whether the tiles are exposed to a hot Utah summer or a bad thunderstorm, they’re ready to handle it. They are also naturally fire-resistant.
Energy Efficiency
Clay tiles help regulate indoor temperatures by reflecting sunlight and providing natural air circulation beneath the roofing surface. That means when you have a clay tile roof, you’re lowering your cooling costs inside your home during the summer— and boost your overall energy efficiency year-round.

A well-installed and maintained clay tile roof can last 50–100 years, often outlasting many other roofing materials.
