First, we recommend that you do not walk on a tile roof, unless you are a trained roofing professional with experience in tile roofing. Overlapping roof tiles are prone to break under load. However, if you must walk on a tile roof, we recommend stepping near the edges on overlap areas that are supported directly underneath. When walking on barrel tiles, try to walk on peaks and avoid stepping in valleys.

Roofing tiles are made from lots of different materials. Roof tile materials include: terracotta clay, ceramic, slate, concrete, steel, aluminum, copper, plastic, composite, polymer sand, and others.
