Why Santafe clay roof tiles?

Clay roof tiles are made with basic elements: clay and water. This ancient technique is basically the same nowadays. Santafe fusion the skills of the artisan with the high technology of a state-of-the-art plant, to reach a roof tile masterpiece.
There are important differences when choosing a roofing material. Initial costs sometimes become the most important thing for homeowners, but there are some points to have in consideration, for example: how long will your roof last? What warranty does the manufacturer offer? What maintenance will the roof demand? How will your roof look like in 5, 10, 20 or 50 years?
Santafe clay roof tiles are almost maintenance free (glazed tiles are even better!). The rain and the wind will do their job and your roof will always look great. Besides that, the color does not fade with time - like other tiles do. Installation is very easy for the professional, since the size is pretty consistent and you can blend different colors without any problem.
Clay roof tiles protect the underlayment of the roof, providing a longer life. They also provide a natural insulation, helping you save money on energy bills. Santafe for example has Energy Star roof tiles that reflect much of the sun energy and return the absorbed back to the atmosphere. This translates in a cool roof that is eco-friendly and contributes to your economy.
