Is clay tile roofing a new idea?
A. Not at all. Although clay tile roofing is maintaining current popularity, its use stretches back to before the beginning of Western civilization. Clay tile roofing was a common addition to the architecture of Ancient Rome (the word “tile” comes from the Latin word “tegula”). The use of clay tile roofing expanded, maintaining a link to Mediterranean cultures, but also being associated with the early colonial settlements in California, a region where this type of roofing remains popular.
