But the fact that they use clay tiles is certainly a smart move because that type of roofing material is very durable and is capable of reflecting heat, which can be good on hot summer days.

It can also withstand strong winds and storms that can tear up other types of roofs.Terence Watthenshttp://www.thefidusgroup.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-59424763278090585052012-09-11T11:19:59.910+02:002012-09-11T11:19:59.910+02:00jean, as long as they don't leak!

I thought anything that looked kind of like this (rather than, say, shale or asbestos or cedar) would be made of clay.
