There are many older buildings around with clay roofing that could be as old as, if not older than you. This is because clay roofing is very sturdy and won’t break easily. It also adds a certain charm to a home with an old-fashioned look. A clay roof that is well cared for can look great and provide solid coverage for over a century. Of course, it does come with a price, and that is… well the price for one thing. It is not the cheapest roofing material, and on top of that, it requires proper support since it is very heavy. If you haven’t had clay roofing in the past and want to install it, you will need the help of a structural engineer to ascertain whether you need additional support for your roof or not. You also shouldn’t cheap out on your roofer. Considering how expensive clay roofing is, you don’t want an inexperienced roofer to install it, since it could lead to a shortened lifespan of the roof.
