Roof Tile

Roof tiles are primarily designed to protect buildings from rain and harsh weather conditions. Traditionally, they were made from locally available materials like terracotta or slate. Modern roof tiles are also manufactured using concrete, plastic, and glazed clay for better durability. Some clay tiles have a waterproof glaze, enhancing their resistance to moisture. Terracotta, also known as terra cotta or terra-cotta, means "baked earth" in Italian. It is a clay-based ceramic that can be either unglazed or glazed. When fired, terracotta becomes porous, allowing breathability while maintaining strength. These tiles are widely used for their aesthetic appeal and durability. Roof tiles come in various shapes, sizes, and finishes to suit different architectural styles. They offer a long-lasting and eco-friendly roofing solution.
