Spanish Style Roofing
Many of those beautiful Spanish style roofs that you see are really made of concrete roof tiles. They are designed to be durable but also withstand many natural forces such as snow, rain, sleet and severe heat as well. They are a clay tile roofing composite that is designed to look like terra cotta, the original material used to create these beautiful roofing structures. Eagle Roofing has some very nice concrete roofs that are sure to increase the resale value of your house and provide your house with lasting protection.
There are a couple of things that you should know before you decide to get tile roofing. The first is that they have to be replaced or repaired when they break. Also Cleaning your tile roof is a little more complex than just going up there with a pressure washer and spraying everything off your concrete roof tiles. The pressure from the water could actually break or chip your tiles. There are contractors that you can have come to your house to repair and clean your concrete roofing tiles, but it's so easy that you could do it in a much more affordable way by yourself.
Repairing your concrete roof tiles is simple. All you need is the replacement tile, and a crow bar or other devise that will allow you to pry up the tile. First, lift up the upper right tile above the broken one, then the tile that is left of the broken tile. That ensures that nothing is resting on your tile so that you can pull it out. Slide in your new tile and release first the left tile then the top right one. Now your tile is replaced!

Cleaning your roof is fairly simple. There is a simple soap solution called Roof Raider which is designed to clean up mildew, mold and moss from your concrete roof tiles, and also kill bugs. Be careful not to walk on the roof after it has been laid down because it is very slippery and it is a great hazard for you to walk on it. Spray the roof with the Roof Raider and let it sit for ten minutes. Spray it from the gutter up to the peak so that you can stand on the other side of the roof when you reach the highest point. Using a regular hose, rinse off the product and start the next section. It is best to do it in smaller areas so that nobody ends up getting hurt from slipping and falling. |
