Roofs: When the color of the tile is a differentiating element!

The roof is a fundamental area that cannot be neglected when building (or renovating a house). In addition to its protection and insulation functions, the roof is also an important aesthetic element to consider in a house.

Did you know that the Tile Color must be selected taking into account some factors?

The aesthetic function of the Roof is naturally influenced by the color of the Tile chosen: Thus, a roof can be neutral in color, and therefore more timeless, or follow some fashion trends adopting more vibrant tones.

But the selection of colors is not limited to their aesthetic function. It is essential to analyze the climate in order to make a correct and appropriate selection of the tone of the tile. The lighter it is, the more it reflects sunlight. Light colors are ideal for warmer climates. In contrast, darker tiles are preferably adapted to cold climates, as dark tiles absorb sunlight, helping to maintain heat.
