As a result of the Californian influence, an abundance of concrete tile is specified and used in the Reno-Tahoe area. What a bad idea! There is an extreme diversity of climates between most of California and here in Western Nevada and the Sierras.
That means that even heavy concrete tiles can be easily blown around in our high winds, and - surprise! - the resulting damage is not covered by manufacturers’ or contractors’ warranties. Fading, chipping, cracking and discoloring are also problems common to concrete-based products – yet such bothersome flaws are expressly excluded from manufacturers’ warranties.
High winds, freeze-thaw cycling and intense sun exposure can lead to serious problems for many roofing materials, especially concrete tile. Quality metal roofing materials solves these problems easily, due to their light weight, unique fastening systems and careful design.
