Clay Shingle Installers Kelowna
Clay shingles are low water-absorbing and make a beautiful addition to any home. Clay shingles are lighter in weight than concrete tiles and age well. As they are exposed to the elements, the clay continues to bake and settle. The result is a beautiful shiny finish with a long life span of over 30 years. Clay tiles resist stains and hold color finishes well. Colors are baked into clay in a ceramic effect at over 2 000 degrees celsius. This creates a smooth finish that resists weathering and holds a range of tints.
You will most commonly see clay shingles in Terra-Cotta, which is the natural color of clay. These make up the classic red roofs of Europe and are very easily distinguished. Kelowna Pro Roofers has installed dozens of Terra-cotta and clay shingles in the past and prides themselves on their timely and quality installation process. |

The downside? Clay shingles have a propensity to crack in cold and freezing weather. With snow, they can become brittle and shatter, leaving weak spots in the roof. Because of this, clay shingles are better suited for warm climates. This isn't a problem in the Kelowna area as winters rarely fall below -4 Celsius. As locals, we're well-equipped to advise you on what best suits the Okanagan Valley climate and weather.
