By Paige Cerulli Created: February, 2021 - Modified: June, 2024

If you are considering a new or renovated rooftop patio, you may wonder how expensive PVC and rubber rooftop tiles are. Both materials are excellent choices for rooftop patio settings, and pricing varies depending on many factors. Color, for instance, is one pricing factor, with black rubber or PVC tiles for rooftop settings being less expensive than their colored counterparts.

There are even cost variations among colored rooftop tiles, with premium colors costing more. For instance, Sterling Rooftop Tile is a rubber product that costs about $7.50 per square foot for the black option, around $8.60 per square foot for standard colors like terracotta roof tiles, and about $12.40 per square foot for the premium colored tiles. When looking at the price differences of PVC and rubber roof tiles, you will likely find, an average range between about $4 per square foot to about $16 per square foot.
