You may have heard the word incombustible. But what does it really mean? Well, the folks at Bartile took a torch to their roofs to find out. Their roof tiles can take some extreme heat. Curious to see what happened compared to the competition? Scan the QR code to watch the test yourself.
Incombustibility is important because many insurance companies now require a fireproof roof. Bartile roof tiles far surpass a class-A fire rating and have a 75-year warranty. Some styles have a class-4 hail rating, while most standard weight tiles have a class-3 hail rating. “Our roofs literally last a lifetime,” says Nick Evans, general manager. “So, you get a beautiful roof and peace of mind.”
To make the most of your roof investment, autumn is a good time to address any issues. If you had ice or snow dams, install heating cables. Or, mount ice brackets and snow fences to keep the ice and snow from sliding off the roof. “Even if it’s not a Bartile roof, we provide snow-retention solutions on any type of roof and give you an installation bid,” says Evans. “We’ve been around for 83 years and most of those we’ve had the installation as well as manufacturing company. Some of the roofs we installed that first year are still in place.”
“Our clients—homeowners, designers and architects—are so creative. They give us a feel of what they want and then let us create custom designs and color. We do multiple runs of different colors and then blend those into a single palette. We have more than 700 vibrant colors and 20 distinct styles to choose from, so we can literally create almost any roof design and look.”

What is your signature style or product?
With our metal gabled finish options, our New England slate tiles have not only a slate look, but when raked with a straight brush, they have a great shake look as well. We install these tiles with metal on the gables so you get the clean, crisp look of a true shake or slate roof.
What are your clients asking for right now?
Our darkest black tile is our top seller. We start with black tile and then add jet black acrylic enamel on top for a dramatic effect. The paint will last 20 years and the black color-through concrete tile underneath will last another 60–70 years.
