Question: Are tile roofs fire resistant (non-combustible)?
Top Answer (68% of 35 votes): Typically.

Answer: Most of the time
Explanation: Not all tile roofs are fire resistant—this largely depends on the type of material used. Traditional clay and concrete tiles are naturally fire resistant and often carry a Class A fire rating, the highest level of fire protection. However, other types of tile roofing, such as synthetic or composite tiles, can vary in their fire resistance depending on the specific product and manufacturer. At Honest Abe Roofing Orlando, we install premium tile roofing systems like Brava composite tiles, which are engineered to meet Class A fire standards. These tiles offer the aesthetic of natural materials with added durability and safety features, including high resistance to fire, wind, and impact. It's essential to choose not just a visually appealing tile, but one that meets your region’s safety standards—especially in Florida, where severe weather can amplify the risk of roof damage. So while many tile roofs can be fire resistant, it's not guaranteed unless the tiles are tested and rated accordingly. Always confirm the fire rating and installation requirements before choosing a tile roof, and work with a certified roofing contractor like Honest Abe Roofing to ensure your home is protected.
