The Pros and Cons of Clay Tile Roofs for Florida Homes in Hurricane Zones

Clay tile roofs are known for their beauty and durability, but are they the best roof for hurricane protection in Florida? Here’s a breakdown:

• Pros: Clay tiles are resistant to wind and fire and have a long lifespan. Their weight helps keep them anchored during storms.

• Cons: Clay tiles are brittle and can crack if struck by debris. Proper installation and maintenance are essential to maximize their effectiveness.

If you're considering a clay tile roof, make sure it’s installed correctly to withstand hurricane-force winds. A Sarasota roofing company can help you decide if clay tiles are the right fit for your home.
