Clay Roofing: Durable and Timeless Solutions by Kooyman 

Understanding Clay Roofing 

Clay roofing has been a preferred choice for centuries due to its durability, aesthetic appeal, and natural thermal properties. Made from natural clay and kiln-fired for strength, clay tiles offer a robust and long-lasting roofing solution. These tiles come in a range of styles, including flat, barrel, and interlocking designs, providing versatility to match different architectural styles. 

Applications of Clay Roofing 

Clay roofing is suitable for diverse types of buildings, from residential homes to commercial structures. Its weather-resistant properties make it ideal for regions with harsh climates. The natural insulation provided by clay tiles helps maintain indoor temperatures, contributing to energy efficiency. Furthermore, clay roofing tiles are fire-resistant, adding an extra layer of safety. 

Complementary Products 

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of clay roofing, several complementary products are essential. Underlayment materials such as waterproof membranes protect against moisture infiltration. A professionally designed flash ensures water is directed away from vulnerable areas like chimneys and valleys. Additionally, ridge tiles and ventilation systems are crucial for maintaining the roof's structural integrity and ensuring proper airflow.
