Coastal areas use Concrete Roof Tile Collection for reliability.

Because they are concrete, Hanson's Regal roof tiles are virtually maintenance-free, are pest-resistant, do not rot in wet climates and are not damaged by heat or sunlight. In contrast, harsh sunlight can cause asphalt shingles to become brittle and weaken shingle adhesive, increasing the likelihood of shingles tearing or blowing off in bad weather.

The Regal collection, which is very popular in Eastern coastal regions, is structurally superior to and last longer than other traditional roofing materials. With proper installation, concrete roof tiles remain one of the most durable and cost-effective roofing options in high-wind climates and are the only roofing materials proven to withstand wind speeds in excess of 125 mph in full scale wind testing. And unlike metal roofing systems, which can sustain dents, and are noisy during storms, tile roofs withstand nature's harshest weather including hail and snow.

With weather forecasters calling for five to six high-category hurricanes this year, coastal residents anxiously await the outcome of the 2006 hurricane season. Kicking off June 1, the season will follow one that that set records in 2005 for wind speed, destruction and loss of life.

Hanson Roof Tile is the second largest manufacturer of concrete roof tile in the U.S., operating six plants in California, Arizona and Florida. Hanson supplies quality concrete roof tile in a multitude of sizes and colors for single and multi-family developments, custom homes and re-roofing applications. Hanson Roof Tile is a subsidiary of Hanson PLC, an international producer of building materials.
