Roof tiles are designed mainly to keep out rain, and are traditionally made from locally available materials such as terracotta or slate. Modern materials such as concrete, metal, and plastic are also used to make these tiles. Some popular type of tiles includes metal roof tiles, solar roof tiles, composite roof tile, and synthetic slate roof tiles.

The tiles are normally placed in parallel rows, with each row overlapping the row below it to exclude rainwater and to cover the nails that hold the row below. There are also roof tiles for special positions, particularly where the planes of the several pitches meet. They include ridge, hip, and valley tiles.

There are several advantages of tile roofing. It is fireproof, recyclable, durable, and highly wind resistant. Plus, natural air ventilation under tiles creates a barrier against heat transfer and keeps the house cool during the hot summer days.
