tile roof

Mediterranean house topper

A tile roof is a roof covered with overlapping tiles, typically made of clay, concrete, or slate.

Tile roofs are durable and fire-resistant, common in Mediterranean, Spanish, and Southwestern architectural styles: The red tile roofs gleamed in the afternoon sun.

They last longer than asphalt shingles but cost considerably more.
