Tile Roof

Amazing work and roof! Would you be so kind as to tell me a little more about the roof materials used? I've been looking at a clay tile roof for a French inspired home, but it seems predominantly that slate is used for those. I prefer this look which I don't see that often on French homes with very steep roofs.

    This roof pitch is 6/12 so it is not steep. Most French style homes are 12/12 or 15/12. This roof was imported from Brazil. It is a flat tile.
