Clay vs concrete tile: which is right for Tennessee?

Both look great on day one. Here's how they compare after 20 humid summers.
Clay tile is fired at high temperatures, so its colour goes all the way through and won't fade. Concrete is cheaper and tougher against hail, but its surface colour can weather over time.
For most homes in Middle Tennessee, we recommend clay on south-facing slopes and concrete where budget matters most. Ask us to bring both to your door.
