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 crafter’s 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.
