    I don't think you have clay tiles. You likely have concrete tiles here in the US.

    These below are clay.


    Our villas have barrel-shaped concrete tiles. We paint $16k to have each unit replaced in 2007. We just obtained pricing on replacement roofs so that our residents would know how much willed be required when the time comes for replacement. $38k now to replace with concrete tiles either barrel style or flat style and $50+k to replace with metal roofing tiles.


    FLAT TILES

    BARREL TILES



    METAL TILES
