Concrete is heavy.
I have concrete tile, like it fine but would have preferred clay tile.
What is on the roof now. Can it hold concretes weight. Glaze fired Clay lasts hundreds of years, here, concrete roofs last 50-70 they are porus like any concrete and most have removed them and put up shingles, when I have walked on them I always break tiles not so with clay
