Is a Brava Roof Worth It?

There are a lot of options when it comes to roofing materials. You have to consider all the different types of roofing colors, styles, and materials. One material—Brava Roof Tiles—tends to get a lot of attention because of its incredible durability and its commitment to sustainability.

But is having a Brava roof worth it? We’ll let you decide. 

But to help you make your decision—and show you what we think about Brava—here’s everything you need to know about Brava roofing tiles.

What is Brava Roof Tile? 

Brava is a roofing brand that provides synthetic roofing materials designed to provide realistic alternatives to traditional materials like cedar shakes, slate, and Spanish tiles.

Since 2008, they have become one of the leading manufacturers in the synthetic roofing industry. Striving to create the best roof tile products possible, Brava roof tiles combine 

aesthetics and durability—a benefit that many find makes them arguably the best choice for any roof.

The Styles of Brava Roofing Tiles

One of the best parts about Brava’s roofing rites is that they come in three styles, all of which mimic  the most popular roofing styles on the market. For example:

Cedar Shakes

Brava synthetic shakes are cast from molds of hand-split cedar shakes, which gives them an authentic rustic appearance. Similar to real cedar shakes, each Brava synthetic shake is a little different, and as a result, each roof has a bit more dimension because of the tiles. 

Old World Slate

Brava synthetic slate gives you the look of traditional slate roofing tiles without all the extra weight. Much like their shakes, their slate tiles are molded to offer more realistic texture and dimension—with no two tiles being the same. They are available in single 12″ standard width and 6″,9″, and 12″ multi-width sizes.

Spanish Barrel Tile

Brava’s synthetic Barrel tile is a beautiful, lightweight alternative to traditional clay and concrete tiles. They have that same iconic half-barrel appearance and bright, vibrant coloring you expect from authentic Spanish tiles.

Benefits of Brava Roof Tile

Brava roofing tiles also have many benefits that make them a great choice for any home. Some of the top benefits include:

Durability

Although we briefly mentioned this before, Brava tile roofs have a high level of durability—and have undergone extensive third-party testing to prove it. In fact, the testing has earned them certifications for the highest wind, fire, and hail resistance levels. To be more specific, Brava roofing products have:

• Class A Fire Ratings
• Class 4 Impact Ratings
• Wind Resistance up to 211 MPH

Could it get any more durable?

Sustainability

Unlike the traditional materials they replicate, Brava tiles do not impact natural resources or use large amounts of energy to produce. 

Instead, they take plastics, those which are already destined for landfills, to create their tile. Therefore, they’re made of 100% recyclable materials. When considering their full life cycle, these tiles also have a lower carbon footprint than traditional roofing materials.

Color Options

Brava tiles are also colored using natural, mineral-based colorants using a multi-coloring process—one that is saturated through the entire tile. The result?

A permanent color that will never fade. 

Not to mention, you can get each style in a variety of beautiful, pre-chosen colors that offer additional depth and dimension to the roof’s appearance.

Virtually No Maintenance

A Brava tile roof requires minimal maintenance as it is made from recycled plastics. There is no need to repaint, replace, or treat the tiles as they will never chip, face, curl, rot, or grow mold. In other words, the most you will have to do is clean them occasionally with a little soap and water. 

This saves you time and money.

Energy Efficient

Another benefit is that Brava products are more insulating than other roofing materials, which allows them to regulate indoor air temperatures better, helping homeowners save on their utility bills. They also offer light and “Cool Roof” color options, which can further help keep utility costs down, particularly in places like Florida, where the sun can be intense.

Increased Home Value

A new roof will always increase your home’s value, but options like Brava synthetic slate or shakes can add more value to your home. Part of this is because of the durability Brava offers, which is something desired by homeowners everywhere. 

In fact, one of the most popular uses of Brava roof tiles on properties near golf courses. The reason? They have all the benefits above and keep their home protected from incoming golf balls, which increases the property value even more.

Other factors that make Brava increase your home’s value are their sustainability and that they require such little maintenance—like we mentioned above.

What Do Their Customers Say?

Brava roof tile reviews are extremely positive. Customers love the look of Brava synthetic shakes and other Brava roofing products, and they praise the realistic, natural appearance and durability compared to their traditional counterparts. 

Even ten years later, customers are amazed by the resilience of their Brava roof tiles. They are also extremely happy with Brava’s color matching, which helps them get their dream roof color.
