Yes, the tar like substance that covers our streets can also be turned into tiles to cover roofs. First used in the United States in 1901, Asphalt Tiles can be made out of Organic material or Fiberglass and are known for being easy to install and a preferable material for areas that are hot – as Asphalt reflects heat making the interior of the home it protects cooler. Extremely durable – depending upon the supplier, installation and weather – a good set of Asphalt Roofing Tiles can last around 20 years before needing to be replaced.

MC Home Depot itself does not carry Cement or PVC roofing tiles however!
