Put simply, concrete tile suits Glen Park buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question soonest. Silicone coatings hold up well on Glen Park roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Glen Park heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. That is as true in Glen Park as anywhere in San Francisco County. As a rule, synthetic composite has become a credible option in Glen Park where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk.

It is the same story on most Glen Park streets.
