MEDITERRANEAN ROOF TILE COLLECTION

The most iconic architectural features of homes in Spain and the Mediterranean are their roof tiles and this roof tile collection is inspired by these traditional aspects. In Spain, these roof tiles may be known as barrel tiles, thigh tiles or curved tiles. Traditionally, these roof tiles would have been made of clay and shaped in a curve over the crafters’ upper legs & thighs. Once fired, a rippling texture would be masked onto the roof tile and incorporated into the roofs of homes in Spain.

In the modern era, mechanical engineers developed machines to mask the traditional Spanish roof tiles to reduce costs and increase time efficiency. These mechanical engineers have been able to replicate the beautiful aspect of Spanish and Mediterranean roof tiles using a machine that cuts manufacturing costs, which is, therefore, more effective for the buyer.

MODERN ROOF TILE COLLECTION

Traditional roof tiles require abundant labour hours, which increases the cost of construction. To overcome these issues, industry engineers in the modern era designed interlocking terracotta tiles to reduce construction time and cost. These are known as Modern roof tiles. The Modern roof tiles are flat and only require 30% of what traditional clay tiles typically require per square meter. Modern roof tiles are able to achieve this as they are larger in size and overlap one another.

A Quick Look at the Artistic Heritage of Terracotta Tiles

Terracotta tiles date back to six thousand years and have been used throughout history for sculpture and pottery as well as for bricks and roof shingles. From a very early date, Chinese sculpture made great use of terracotta, with and without glazing and colour. This has become evident by the recent discovery of The Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang in China which is found to be over 2000 years old.

The rich heritage and persistent artistic beauty of terracotta tiles have made them the popular choice for roofing in the past centuries. No wonder, this architectural heritage has prompted the people in the industry to put Terracotta on their own homes.
