In the world of roofing, the pitched roof remains a reliable and time-tested design. Water flows off the slanted roof quickly, which is why it works well where it rains or snows a lot. At Resilient Roofing, we understand the importance of a reliable roof, and pitched roofing, particularly with slate, clay, and concrete tiles, offers a blend of durability, aesthetics, and longevity that’s hard to beat. Let’s explore what makes these materials special and why they’re still favored by those building or owning homes.
