  • ebuild Guide to Clay Roof Tile Specifications
  • ebuild (1/2/2007)
  • Clay tile roofing is one of the oldest forms of roofing known. It originated in China and the Middle East over ten thousand years ago, and eventually spread throughout the world. Europeans brought the technology to America, and clay roofing is now a common architectural feature in many parts of the US, particularly in southern California, Florida, and throughout the Southwest. Apart from its distinctive appearance, clay tile is highly durable, holds a Class A fire rating, and is available in a wide variety of colors and shapes. At the same time, however, clay tile puts a substantial load on a structure, weighing anywhere from 900 pounds per square to over 1,800 pounds per square. Lightweight versions of some tiles are available, but in any case a roof structure must be specifically designed to handle the weight.
