I guess that our palapa guy knew what he was doing!
We have never had any of the above mentioned symptoms.
It sure is nice when something is done right...especially when you didnt even know it until 10 years later!

However when we have to replace our palapa roofs, I do think that I will go with the red curved tiles. Anyone have any horror stories about them?

I'm with you, when I replace it will be with the red transite to match my other roofs.

Judy we are in the age of plastics I think they last longer and stay on better, but do not have the mexican ranch house look. Compromise!!!!!!!!!!!

I was leaning toward the plastic ones. You cant really tell the difference from a distance. Also, I have heard that the ceramic ones can cause red dust...not from termites obviously, I wonder what from?

You mean like galvinada laminazada?
Thats a little too warehouse looking for me. We used it for our pump house, painted it a pretty color and it has lasted a long time.

Judy

They have metal panels now that are pressed out to look like tile, and tile color but they look fake and made from a very light metal. I had a neighbor install them on a carport, I told him I would screw them down every place he could, It withstood Marty?
