How Do You Lay Concrete Roof Tiles?
Concrete roof tiles are about three times as heavy as traditional asphalt tiles, but most houses can support their weight without any problems. Concrete roof tiles have some advantages over asphalt: They are incredibly sturdy and hold up better under extreme weather conditions; they can also be walked on without cracking, which makes it easy to put up Christmas lights or do roof maintenance. With properly installed concrete roof tiles, your roof can hold strong for more than 50 years. Cover the roof with roof underlayment. Use asphalt-saturated felt, which is the traditional roofing underlayment, or synthetic underlayment, which is more expensive but longer-lasting. If you live in a wet or snowy climate, use a self-adhering underlayment, which has an ice and water barrier. To apply underlayment, start at the bottom of the roof. Unroll 5 to 6 feet of underlayment, line it up with the edge of the roof and then nail it into place with a nail gun. Repeat the process until you reach the end
