tile roofing
Clay top layer
Tile roofing is a roofing system using overlapping tiles made from clay, concrete, or slate.
The material is durable and fire-resistant, common in Mediterranean, Spanish, and Southwestern architectural styles: The tile roofing gave the house a distinctly Californian look.
Tile roofs last longer than asphalt shingles but cost more to install and repair.
