Skylight seals on Encinitas roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity.
Concrete tile suits Encinitas buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. Metal has grown in Encinitas for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. Lightweight tile gives Encinitas owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise call for.
