Based on market research, the base price for Spanish clay roof tiles is usually between $5 and $15 per square foot. This price range is affected by a variety of factors, including the quality of the shingles, the brand, shipping costs, etc.

Standard clay tiles weigh between 6 and 8 pounds per square foot, which is about 600 to 800 pounds (270 to 360 kg) for 100 square feet. Heavy clay tiles can weigh more, up to 10 to 12 pounds per square foot, which means that a 100 square foot roof tile can weigh as much as 1,000 to 1,200 pounds (450 to 540 kg).

Durable materials tend to require less maintenance. For example, quartz and stainless steel countertops generally have a long lifespan and low maintenance requirements. Natural stones such as marble and granite, while durable in their own right, require regular sealing to prevent moisture, oil stains or acidic liquids from penetrating, which increases the complexity and cost of maintenance.

Clay tile falling off may seem like a small problem, but in fact, falling tiles may bring a series of serious consequences, affecting the function of the roof and threatening personal safety.
