Choosing The Color of Tile Roofing
October 27, 2018
You have finally made the decision to choose tile roofing for your home, the difficult part is over — or is it? Maybe not, because now it is time to select the color. Choosing a tile roof color is an important facet and reflection of your home. Roofing takes up to 40 percent of a home’s visible exterior, making color selection a significant investment for your home as well as its curb appeal.
When choosing the color of your tile roofing, there are many factors that should be considered. To help weigh in, we put together a few things to think about to make the selection process easier.
Consider The Climate In Which You Reside
One of the biggest factors to consider when choosing a color for tile roofing is the climate and area that you live in. Dark colored roofing tends to hold and retain heat more than light-colored roofing. A lighter roof, however, is better at reflecting and absorbing much less heat making your home more energy efficient. In a climate that is typically dry and hot like Arizona, lighter colored tile roofing is likely the route you will want to go.
Architecture and Color Combination
When choosing a color, it is also essential to pay close attention to the exterior of your home as well as the existing architecture. With the right color and style coordination, you can add depth and curb appeal that can increase the value of your home. Try to choose a roofing color that compliments the color of your home’s exterior. If your home is a brighter color, it will be more likely to accent better with gray, black, or brown tiled roofing. Additionally, you can always consider the option of painting your home if it will clash with your preferred roof color.
Pay attention to the style of architecture too — it is better to stick to colors that match well with Victorian, Mediterranean, or Plantation homes to keep the aesthetic that these homes create. Clashing colors will take away from the look of a home’s style, and the classic appearance they are meant to convey will diminish. Choosing the right color for your tile roofing can help emphasize flattering portions of your home while concealing unflattering aspects.
Seek Inspiration From Neighbors
Be sure to consider the color schemes of other homes in your neighborhood when considering a roof color. See if you can identify general trends that you observe from your neighbor’s roofs. You will want to choose a color that does not clash with your neighbors’ houses, who will have to live with your color choice just as much as you do. Be sure to consider the natural surroundings too, noticing any seasonal color changes in contrast to your home. Lastly, make sure to ensure the color you end up choosing is in like with your homeowner’s association.
