Energy Benefits and Savings
Thermal mass is the ability of a material to maintain a more consistent temperature. Clay tiles have a high thermal mass that effectively helps to make the building more comfortable and reduce peak energy demands.
Custom and Production Home Builders across the country are using the HERS Index to sell their homes. Recently, REM/Rate v12.93 incorporated the energy benefit of tile roofing into building envelope calculations. This revision has the potential to improve HERS rating scores on homes by upgrading to a clay roof.***
Truly Lightweight
Intentionally designed for reroofing, Monterey™ Shake 600 weighs up to 40% less than a standard product. Installation does not typically require structural reinforcement.**** Produced from the same natural materials as our traditional clay products, this lightweight tile offers superior performance, artisan style, and kiln-fired color pallets with up to 40% less weight.
Natural Colors
Modeled after traditional heavy hand-split cedar shakes, Boral Roofing’s Monterey™ Shake 600 was developed to deliver a true rustic, realistic wood appearance, while adding the long lasting benefits of clay.

***IRS Energy Efficient Home Credit IRC Sec 45L. IRC Sec 45L provided home builders with a $2,000 tax credit per home. Although the credit ceased at the end of 2011, it is expected to be reinstated when the House approves the Tax Extenders Bill.

****Some local ordinances may require permits to be obtained prior to
starting any new roof or reroofing work, depending on your location. Most
contractors will handle this for you, but it is a good idea to understand your
local building codes, and make sure you know whether or not your home
needs to be inspected by a licensed engineer or building inspector. Install
products using the Tile Roof Institute’s Regional Installation Guide or Boral
product specific Installation guide.
