What are roof tiles?

Roof tiles are one of the most popular ways to cover a roof. They’ve been used by homeowners for many years to protect properties from the elements. With so many different types of roof tiles available today, choosing the right one for your home can feel overwhelming.

How do roof tiles work?

Roof tiles are designed to keep water out. They are laid in a way that allows rainwater to run down the surface, without creating any pools of water. This reduces the risk of leaks or water damage, making them a reliable and practical roofing choice.

What types of roof tiles are there?

While traditional roof tiles were made from terracotta, modern roofing tiles are often made from stronger materials like clay, concrete, slate, plastic, or felt. Each material offers different benefits depending on your budget, climate, and style preference.

Concrete roof tiles

Concrete tiles are one of the most common choices. As a man-made material, concrete provides a strong and affordable alternative to natural stone tiles. Known for their durability and long lifespan (up to 50 years), they also feature water locks that prevent leaks and offer resistance to harsh weather like wind and hail.

Clay roof tiles

Clay tiles are popular for their attractive orange colour, which stays vibrant over time. They’re also high-performing in poor weather. While they look great, they may require cleaning more often, so using a proper roof tile cleaner helps remove algae and dirt buildup.

Slate roof tiles

Slate tiles are a premium choice. Though more expensive upfront, they are a long-term investment thanks to their strength, fire resistance, and low maintenance needs. Slate also absorbs very little water and is available in colours like grey, green, or even purple. Ridge tiles made from slate are among the lightest roof tile options.

Plastic roof tiles

Plastic roofing tiles are a modern, eco-friendly option often made from recycled materials. They’re extremely durable and can handle tough weather conditions. These tiles offer a great mix of sustainability and strength, making them ideal for newer homes.

Felt roof tiles

Felt tiles are designed for the toughest weather. They protect against sun, rain, snow, and wind—keeping your home secure all year round. But they’re also stylish, available in various colours and designs such as grey roof tiles and red roof tiles to match your home’s exterior.

Roof tile accessories

At Howarth, we also stock a range of roof tile accessories to improve your roof’s performance:

  • Roof tile vents – These help ventilate your attic by allowing air to circulate under the roof. They’re discreet, durable, and essential for temperature and moisture control.
  • Roof tile clips – These keep tiles secure during strong winds or storms, reducing the risk of damage.

If you’re unsure which roof tile material is right for your home, contact your local Howarth branch for expert advice and guidance. Our friendly team is here to help you make the best choice for your property.
