maintenance. Made from steel, aluminum, or
copper, they are resistant to fire, rot, and

ability to shed snow easily. Despite higher

Spanish-style homes, provide timeless beauty and
charm. Typically made from clay or concrete,
they offer excellent durability, with lifespans

insects, and rot, making them a sustainable
choice for various climates. While installation

investment.

commercial buildings, offering a sleek and

allowing for rooftop gardens, solar panel
