Spanish Tile
Spanish tile is a unique roofing material that is equally beautiful and durable. Most spanish tiles are made from slate, fired clay, terracotta, or tinted concrete. As a result, they come in many different shapes, such as curved, flat, fluted or interlocking, styles and colors. Spanish tiles are most commonly used in warm climates and areas that are exposed to salt air.
