clay tiles

Fired earth shingles

Clay tiles are roofing or flooring pieces made from fired clay, prized for durability and natural appearance.

Roofing tiles in terracotta or earth tones are common in Mediterranean and Spanish-style architecture: The villa had a traditional red clay tile roof.

Floor tiles of fired clay appear in kitchens, patios, and entryways, valued for their rustic warmth.
