Phoenix Arizona Roofing - Its All About Clay
by administratorThere really isn’t too much to debate about when it comes to how roofing is done in the southwestern portion of the United States. In Arizona, and particularly the Phoenix area, it’s hot and dry almost all the time.
In fact, that’s probably an understatement. Its really hot.
The extreme heat and very dry temperatures make roofing in Arizona quite boring really. Yes, these kinds of conditions can cause daily expansions of your roofing material, but the desert is abundant with the right roofing material.
Phoenix roofing companies can essentially go digging for their supplies (not really, that’s entirely a joke). The roofing solution that fits most of Arizona and definitely the majority of hot and dry Phoenix (Scottsdale, Tempe etc) is clay and many cases terra cotta. But clay and different variations of clay roof tiles is what you will typically find on roofs in Phoenix. Some cases of metal roofing can be found, because of it’s ability for high reflection as well.
Shake shingle and some asphalt are used in Arizona, so is urethane foam, but the truth is, these products dont stand up to the conditions the way clay roofing does.
