Why Tile Roofing Stands Out

For many homeowners, a roof is something they don’t think about until it starts to leak. But choosing the right roofing materials ahead of time makes a big difference. When well-maintained, tile roofing can last for decades, often lasting 50 years or more.

Here’s why people in Vancouver often lean toward tile:

Tough against the elements

Heavy rain, strong winds, or even the occasional snowfall don’t bother tile as much as other roofing systems.

Energy savings

The way tile absorbs and reflects heat helps keep homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Over time, that balance shows up on energy bills.

Fire resistance

Unlike wood, tile doesn’t catch fire easily, adding an extra layer of safety.

Looks like the last

Whether you like clay’s rustic charm, the versatility of concrete, or the high-end feel of roof tile and slate, tiles give homes character.

Types of Tile Roofing Materials

One of the biggest advantages of tile is the range of options. Not every home needs the same look, and not every homeowner has the same budget. That’s where our team of roofing tile roofers comes in.

Clay Tiles

These are the classic reddish-orange tiles you often see in warmer climates, but they look just as good on Vancouver homes. They’re known for rich color and natural appeal.

Concrete Tiles

A good choice because they may look like various designs, including slate or even wood shakes. They're durable, flexible, and a little less expensive.

Slate Tiles

If you’re after elegance, slate is the way to go. It’s heavy, premium, and incredibly long-lasting. For homeowners who want a true “forever roof,” this option is hard to beat.

Each type has its own strengths, but the right choice depends on your style, your home’s structure, and what kind of long-term performance you’re after.

Tile Roofing in Vancouver’s Climate

Living in the Lower Mainland means you deal with a lot of rain. For roofing, that’s no minor detail. Roofing in Vancouver requires materials that don’t give up after years of dampness. Tile is great at resisting moisture, and when installed properly, it allows air to circulate underneath.

That airflow helps reduce the risk of moss and mildew, two common issues in this region. Snow and temperature swings are also part of the picture. While winters here aren’t the harshest in Canada, they’re still cold and wet enough to wear down cheaper materials. A tile roof can handle the challenge without constant repairs.

Installing and Maintaining Tile Roofs

Now, it’s true: tile isn’t the easiest material to install. It requires skill, careful placement, and the right tools. That’s why it’s important to hire our tile roofing contractors who know what they’re doing. At GoodVans Roofing, we don’t rush the process. Every tile is positioned to fit securely, with proper flashing and sealing, so the roof not only looks good but also performs year after year.

Maintenance is fairly simple. Unlike other roofing systems, you don’t need to worry about rot or insects. The most common issue is a cracked tile from falling branches or impact. The good news is that you can often replace individual tiles without having to redo the entire roof. That makes tile both a long-term and cost-effective choice.
