EXTRUDED CLAY ROOFING TILES 

The Hispaniola Barrel and the Andalusa meet and over exceed Miami Dade County construction requirements and ICC approval for California. The Hispaniola Barrel and the Andalusa "S" can be installed in areas of wind up 135 mph in the Metro-Dade County. In Fact our Tiles have withstood winds up to 169 mph. 

Over the years, roof tiles and their production processes have evolved to give the products more aesthetic appeal. The major breakthrough came in 1916 when the first extruded tiles were made in Spain by Grupo Altagres, our major supplier worldwide. This new technology was soon commercialised in Europe, Central and South America, to mass-manufacture roof clay tiles instead of hand-made. 

Andalusa Natural

It meets the ASTM norms for Miami Dade Country approvals. Andalusa roof tile is quality, affordable, and dependable. Everything you would ever want in a roof tile system.

COLOR
