Roof tiles: Clay tiles, concrete tiles and other tiles
Updated: Dec 3, 2022
Boral Roofing and Boral USA is the largest manufacturer of roof tiles in the nation and in Florida. Locally serving Florida with offices in Okeechobee, Lake Wales and Pompano Beach. Boral Roofing offers sustainable, durable and affordable clay, concrete, stone coated steel and composite slate and shake roof tile products. When I think of Florida a few things come to mind...beaches, sand, palm trees and the typical orange clay tiled roofs. Clay tiled roofs have become synonymous with Florida roofing due to their durability, earthy colors, resistance to rot, reflectance and minimal impact to the environment. Clay and concrete tiles are one of the few roofing materials that are recyclable. If left in the landfill they can last hundreds of years. So the tile is crushed and reintroduced into new roofing material, used for baseball fields and used to fill lakes. When a hurricane hits Florida as it has in the past five years with Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Ian there are tile shortages. Add to that already low supply a struggling economy and the clay tiles and concrete tiles are currently about 6-8 months of back order.
