Can You Install Tile Roofing in Cold Weather?

A: Yes, tile roofing can be installed in cold weather—but it must be done carefully. The key is to ensure temperatures are above freezing and surfaces are dry during installation. Adhesives and mortar used for setting tile require warmer, moisture-free conditions to bond properly.

At Roof Nuts, we regularly install tile roofs in Georgia winters. We closely monitor temperature, humidity, and surface moisture to make sure the job is done right the first time.

Why does cold weather matter when installing tile roofs?

  • Freezing temps prevent proper curing. Adhesives and mortar may not set if it’s too cold or damp.

  • Wet surfaces cause slipping and poor adhesion.

  • Frost and condensation can compromise tile alignment and structural integrity.

That’s why all winter tile jobs require tight scheduling and condition checks.

How Roof Nuts ensures proper winter tile roof installation

We follow industry-backed protocols and manufacturer recommendations including:

  • Waiting until air and surface temps are consistently above 40°F

  • Avoiding installation on mornings with frost or dew

  • Ensuring proper storage and handling of materials on-site

  • Using polymer-modified mortars when needed, which offer better cold-weather performance

Our crews don’t guess—we check the forecast, monitor moisture, and adjust timing to get it done cleanly.
