Frequently Asked Questions

I have an older tile roof that needs repairing. Will new tiles be compatible?

City of Shaker Heights - Planning
Tiles made today are manufactured from new larger molds that do not match the dimension of the tiles that would be found on older Shaker homes. Tiles matching the old dimensions are still manufactured but are more expensive. The City wants to create a database of every property in Shaker Heights with a tile roof so a local distributor may order special runs of the old tiles at a more affordable price. Please contact Planning (216-491-1430) for further details.

Do you tile over tiles?

Bathrooms
No, it may be more expensive, dusty and dirty to jack hammer up the floor tiles but the Waterproofing Standards say that the waterproofing must go on the Substrate. By not removing the floor tiles you are relying on the existing tiles not to move and provide waterproofing. By removing the wall tiles and linings we can check the existing plumbing and re sheet walls so as to have a clean surface to water proof and adhere tiles to.

I like to do it myself. Can I install my own tile roof?

Hanson.biz : Hanson Roof Tile
Because tile is a unique product, it takes a craftsman to install a tile roof properly. Professional roofing contractors install over 96% of all tile roofs. A handy person may be able to lay field tile without much trouble, but installing underlayment, battens, flashings for valleys, chimneys, solar panels and skylights and cutting the tiles along hips and valleys are more complicated tasks. We recommend using an installation professional to properly install your tile roof.

What about the insulation value of a tile roof?

Hanson.biz : Hanson Roof Tile
Tile roofs are good insulators. The combined effect of the roof tiles, decking and the air space between the tiles allows for better air circulation and thereby reduces direct heat transfer. This results in lower air conditioning costs in the summer and decreases the formation of ice dams in the winter. BACK TO TOP
