Concrete tiles provide excellent fire resistance and energy efficiency benefits for Illinois climate conditions. We ensure proper fastening techniques that accommodate thermal expansion and contraction throughout seasonal changes.
Weather Protection and Underlayment Systems
Professional underlayment installation provides critical moisture protection beneath tile installations for long-term performance. We select appropriate underlayment materials designed specifically for tile roofing applications and weight requirements. Our installation includes proper flashing systems around chimneys, vents, and roof transitions.
Weather protection systems account for tile drainage characteristics and ventilation requirements. We use mechanical fasteners rather than mortar to ensure secure tile attachment and easier maintenance. Complete weather sealing protects your investment while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of tile installations.

Accurate measurements and detailed inspections help us plan material needs and timelines effectively. We also handle permits and coordinate with other contractors if structural work is required.
