With tile roofing, you can save on both air conditioning and heating costs, and influence the value of the property. A well-cared for roof of this type can last for over 100 years. According to different sources, tile roofing is one of the oldest and most used types of roofing in the world. In fact, evidence was found that tile roofing was used before 10,000 BC in locations in North America, Egypt, and Rome. While there have been different types of roofing used over the times, tile roofing has always been used to some level. The most important thing to know, is that the foundation of the home or building needs to be laid out to support the weight of this type roofing.
