9What the Weather Does to a West Covina Roof
On most jobs, thermal cycling does the harm in West Covina — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. Realistically, afternoon sun on a west-facing West Covina slope ages that side seasons ahead of the rest of the roof covering. Summer heat is the main ageing force on a West Covina roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. Put simply, tile underlayment in West Covina dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. Roof coverings in West Covina bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing.
Put simply, reclaimed tile can be matched on West Covina heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Realistically, underlayment choice counts more than covering choice on a West Covina tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. In practice, cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in West Covina even where code does not require them.
