Roof Tile

Clay roof tile has been used by different civilizations throughout history like an attractive, durable and popular form of roofing. Five thousand years ago, the ancient Chinese produced glazed earthen flatware to use in their hand made roofs. Similarly, the Greeks used different patterns of clay roofing materials.

Romans adopted the patterns from Greece wherever suitable clays could be found. Europe was impressed with the durability of the clay roof tile used in Venice, Rome and Spain. Spanish explorers brought the clay roof tile to the Americas and used them in missions from St. Augustine, Fl. to the missions of San Diego, Ca., many of which still have the original roof tile intact today. At one time in California and Florida, as much as ninety percent of homes used clay roofing.
