Want a roof that will last 200 years? Follow along with Brent Hull of Hull Millwork & The Build Show as he walks us through historic Ludowici tile from the roof of a 1928 period revival house, and discover why Ludowici has been the best in terra cotta roofing products in the United States for over 130 years:
As Brent mentioned, Ludowici has the capability and expertise to create a historically accurate product. We’ve been making tile since 1888 and all of it can still be made today. It’s not unusual for our tile to outlast the structure underneath it, or for the original tile to be reinstalled once the structure has been repaired – Ludowici can even recreate tile made by other manufactures.
Today, Ludowici’s clay roof tile can be found on many of America’s most famous institutions, universities and architectural landmarks. Whether you need additional tile to supplement the installation of your existing tile or you want an entirely new roof, Ludowici’s clay roof tiles are 3-5 times as durable as shingle, concrete, synthetic or metal roofs. Ludowici’s products will fit the full range of architectural styles from Old World to contemporary, and the result is truly a vision without compromise.
