About this blog

There are a number of advantages to having a tile roof. They are more resistant to pests. Tile roofs also have the ability to withstand weather conditions that are harsh. They have thermal properties that contain the ability to reduce temperatures on the deck of the roof. There are also a number of colors and types available that can easily complement the appearance of your home. However, the biggest benefit is that tile roofs have the ability to last over one hundred years when they are properly maintained. The following roof maintenance advice can help ensure that you are properly caring for your roof.

First of all, you want to make sure that you go out and inspect the roof on a regular basis. While tile roofs are known for their durability, they still need to be inspected. You want to make sure that you keep an eye open for any tiles that have been chipped or cracked. You are going to have to replace any part that has been damaged immediately. Make sure that you take the correct steps in order to reduce other issues from occurring with your tiles.

The next thing you need to remember is that it is absolutely important that you refrain from pressure washing your roof. You can clean your roof using a 6-inch trowel and a wire brush. Cleaning it by hand is the only way that you can safely clean your roof. It is important that you understand that the tiles can become eroded or begin to penetrate into the felt located beneath the tiles and cause the roof space to flood if you pressure wash the roof.

You can consider refurbishing the roof. Once the roof has been washed and it has had time to dry, you can take steps in order to ensure that the surface remains protected. One way to do this is by buffing the roof. You can buff the tiles using a washcloth that is clean. You can also place a coat of alkyd primer that is clear on the roof in order to keep the home cooler and reflect the rays of the sun away from the roof. You can use a heavy-duty paint in order to put a waterproof finish on the roof that will also increase the overall appearance of the roof itself. You can apply a sealant. The sealant can help restore the durability of the tile that you already have on the roof while bringing the color back to life at the same time.

You also want to make sure that any tiles you find that are broken, chipped, or cracked are replaced as soon as you find them. This is because when the tiles are broken, the roof is not able to withstand exposure to elements as well. Finally, if you have to walk on the tile, be careful. You can actually damage the tile when you walk on it.
