FAQ
Some Questions and Answers
How many tiles do I need for my roof?
If you have a set of plans we would be happy to do an area take off. That way we can give you a complete estimate including all fittings.
Are clay roof tiles suitable for cold climates?
Yes. All clay roof tiles sold by Northern Roof Tiles US Inc meet ASTM Grade 1 standards and are certified for freeze-thaw durability, making them a reliable option in northern U.S. and Canadian climates.
Are clay roof tiles fire-resistant?
Yes. Clay roof tiles are non-combustible and naturally fire-resistant. They won’t ignite, melt, or burn—even under intense heat or direct flame exposure—making them an ideal roofing choice for homes in wildfire-prone areas. In fact, clay tiles often meet or exceed Class A fire ratings, which is the highest standard for fire protection in roofing materials.
A properly installed clay tile roof can significantly reduce the risk of ember penetration, which is one of the leading causes of structure loss during wildfires.
Do I need special installation methods or tools?
No special tools are required, but proper battening, waterproof underlayment, and tile fasteners are recommended. A professional roofer experienced in clay tiles should handle the installation.
We do have suggested installation guides but recommend you follow local building codes and Tile Roofing Institute’s Design Criteria Manual for Moderate Climate Regions or Manual for Cold and Snow Regions installation procedure.

Is there a warranty on clay roof tiles?
Yes. All tiles come with a warranty ranging from 15, 25, 30 years to lifetime depending on the manufacturer.
What’s the difference between the warranty and life expectancy of clay roof tiles?
Warranty and life expectancy aren’t the same — and for clay roof tiles, the difference is significant.
WARRANTY
A warranty is the manufacturer’s formal promise to cover defects in materials or workmanship for a specific time—typically 15 to 50 years, depending on the brand and product.
It protects against premature failure due to manufacturing issues.
Warranties usually require proper installation and may not cover issues caused by underlayment failure, structural movement, or improper ventilation.
LIFE EXPECTANCY
The life expectancy is how long the tiles will realistically last on your roof when properly installed and maintained. For clay roof tiles, this is often:
75 to 100+ years
Clay tiles are kiln-fired at over 1000°C, making them incredibly durable.
They resist rot, pests, UV, fire, and freeze–thaw damage.
Many historic buildings in Europe still have their original clay tile roofs centuries later.
FINAL THOUGHT
The warranty protects your investment today. The life expectancy protects your home for generations.
