BASICS - CLAY TILE ROOFING Tile roofing accommodates various building traditions and climatic conditions, and it now accounts for over eight percent of the residential steep-slope roofing market in the United States for new construction and about three percent for reroofing. And in much of the world, earthy, fire-safe, long-lasting tile is the dominant roofing material.

The plaza now becomes fully immersed during the highest tides of autumn and winter.
