LIGHTWEIGHT TILE ROOFING
Lightweight tile roofing delivers the beauty of tile at half the weight. Pro Specialty Services installs polymer and composite tile systems for homes that can't support traditional tile loads.
Expert Lightweight Tile Roofing Services in Lake County
Lightweight tile roofing has revolutionized the tile market. Modern polymer and composite tiles weigh 50-75% less than concrete or clay while replicating their appearance almost perfectly. For homes not built to support heavy tile, it's a game-changing option.
At Pro Specialty Services, we install premium lightweight tile systems from leading manufacturers. These advanced materials capture tile's aesthetic appeal—the shadow lines, the texture, the prestige—without the structural demands of traditional tile.
Whether your home's structure can't support concrete tile or you simply want the advantages of reduced weight, lightweight tile opens doors that were previously closed. It's the tile look you want with engineering that makes it possible.
Compare lightweight tile to traditional tile roofing and stone-coated steel. Learn about roof weight requirements for your home.
Why Lightweight Tile Changes Everything
Structural compatibility is the primary advantage. Many Florida homes—especially older construction and certain manufactured homes—can't support traditional tile's 900-1,100 lbs per square. Lightweight tile at 150-350 lbs per square changes the equation entirely.
Installation efficiency improves dramatically. Lighter tiles mean faster handling, easier transport to the roof, and less physical strain on installers. This can translate to cost savings and faster project completion.
Modern polymer and composite formulations offer excellent durability. While not matching clay's 100-year lifespan, quality lightweight tile delivers 40-50 years of service with proper installation—comparable to premium asphalt shingles at dramatically better aesthetics.

Common Questions
Modern lightweight tile is remarkably realistic. From normal viewing distance, quality polymer barrel tile is virtually indistinguishable from concrete. The shadow lines, texture, and color variation closely match traditional tile.
Quality lightweight tile typically lasts 40-50 years. While not matching clay's 100+ year lifespan, it's comparable to concrete tile and far exceeds asphalt shingles.
Yes, when properly installed. Most lightweight tiles have excellent wind ratings and their reduced weight actually reduces wind uplift force. We install per manufacturer and code requirements for hurricane resistance.
Sometimes. Depending on your existing roof type and condition, lightweight tile may be installable as a recover system. We'll inspect and advise on the best approach for your situation.
Lightweight tile is often less expensive than traditional tile, and the savings increase dramatically if traditional tile would require structural reinforcement. Total installed cost is typically 20-40% less.
No more than traditional tile—periodic inspection and cleaning as needed. Polymer tiles don't absorb water or support algae growth as readily as concrete, so they may stay cleaner longer.
