The Most Typhoon-Proof Roof: Andorra Roof Tiles

The peak of the typhoon season is July through October, when nearly 70% of all typhoon develop in the Philippines. During this time, it is common for our country to be hit with weather systems consisting of light showers to the fiercest of torrential rain and winds. Now, amid the calm before the storm, is the time to learn more about the added protection an Andorra concrete tile roof can provide your property.

When looking at a tropical cyclone’s core, there are many layers to consider. For instance, the force of a typhoon can vary depending on what part of the storm directly hovers over your location. The eye of the storm is generally the weakest, while the eyewall has the strongest winds and rain. In addition, wind bands can extend to encompass hundreds of miles, lengthening the effect of the storm for some distance.

The classification of tropical cyclones according to the strength of the associated windsas adopted by PAGASA as of 23 March 2022 are as follows:

TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) – a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of up to 62 kilometers per hour (kph) or less than 34 nautical miles per hour (knots).

TROPICAL STORM (TS) – a tropical cyclone with maximum wind speed of 62 to 88 kph or 34 – 47 knots.

SEVERE TROPICAL STORM (STS) – a tropical cyclone with maximum wind speed of 87 to 117 kph or 48 – 63 knots.

TYPHOON (TY) – a tropical cyclone with maximum wind speed of 118 to 184 kph or 64 – 99 knots.

SUPER TYPHOON (STY) – a tropical cyclone with maximum wind speed exceeding 185 kph or more than 100 knots.

An Andorra concrete tile roof, that is properly installed based on your area’s building codes and wind zone designations, gives your home the best protection against potential damage to your roofscape and property during typhoon season.

Durability Against Wind

Andorra Roof Tiles are pitted against the highest industry performance standards to ensure they can endure extreme weather conditions. When installed properly, our roof tile is the best defense against weather-related property damage.

Tested and proven in Typhoon Odette (International Name: Typhoon Rai) as seen in the photo above, our concrete roof tiles withstand sustained winds of up to 260 km/h winds. For that reason, an Andorra concrete tile roof’s mightiness is likely to endure Signal No. 4 or 5 typhoon.

Weight Is Our Strength

With a composition of majority cement, our tiles are resilient and heavy-duty. Therefore, the impact from debris, fallen branches, and other airborne wreckage may be minimal if you have an Andorra Roof Tiles. With the packed weight of each tile, our product is nearly unfazed by the high air currents during intense showers. This means you’ll have the security of knowing that once the storm passes, your roof will be intact.

Best in the Business

You can feel confident in knowing that Andorra Roof Tiles are the best all around. In addition to advantages like low lifetime cost and enhanced curb appeal, Andorra concrete tile roofs are more secure than roofscapes made of asphalt shingles, metal, or wood shake.

To illustrate, asphalt shingles are not resistant to climate variations such as high winds or temperature fluctuations. They degrade over time and are highly susceptible to cracking, losing granules and drying out. That is why their wind performance declines steadily as they age, making it easy for typhoon-force winds to rip shingles from a roof. While metal roofs have a longer life span than shingles, they are not well insulated to combat noisy storms or dents from rubble impact. On the other hand, wood shakes add extra stress with molding and rotting if not properly sealed and high repair costs becoming a primary concern.
