Spanish Tile Roof Waterproofing

Spanish roofing tiles are well known for their beautiful looks and it has been used as the best roofing material for centuries. Its lightweight nature, rich and evolving color spectrum makes it more attractive and if we talk about its cost, then it's very much affordable as compared to other roofing materials.

Spanish tiles are made from clay that contains various types of mineral deposits. The tiny pores in the clay tiles collect the moisture from rain and evening dew, which creates a layer of moisture inside the tiles. This layer of moisture works as a natural cooling or air-conditioning inside the house during humid days or nights. Up to some extent these tiny pores are good. But during above-average humidity or constant rainfall and snowfall, these tiny pores accumulates moisture within its pores, without sufficiently drying out. It can become moldy and will eventually weaken and crumble the tiles over time. So as to increase the lifespan of roofing tiles and to prevent it from getting weakened, tile roof waterproofing is required. Waterproofing of roofing tiles stops water from entering the hairline cracks. If water enters from any, it can easily freeze when the temperature is cold. Once the cracks freeze, the tiles have a greater chance of cracking. And since water expands when it freezes, the roof tiles could also crack and damage your roof badly. Another reason for cracks in the roof can be a warmer climate that can cause the roof to expand and contract. Since our roof coatings and roof sealants are flexible and move with the roof, people prefer tile roof waterproofing, while installing the roof.
