The structure of the roof often fails long before Ludowici tile, so be sure to start your project off right. We offer durable, high-quality underlayment for your building, and Tile Seal and Tile Vent for those vulnerable areas requiring additional flashing. Ludowici also recommends copper nails or stainless screws as the preferred choice for affixing our tile to the roof, both of which can be ordered to deliver with our tile—saving you time, and money
A roof tile fastener should last as long as the roof tile you’ve chosen. Copper nails are the perfect fastener for your new Ludowici tile roof and now Ludowici is stocking copper nails that can easily be added to your tile order.
These American-made nails are non-ferrous and feature a 10-gauge shank to resist bending. They are packaged in convenient, installer-friendly 5-lb increments. They can be shipped with the tile or straight to the customer’s office or shop location.

Flexim is a ready-to-use roofing mortar for fixing ridge/ hip tiles to tile roofs. It has been used successfully for over thirty years in the repair, renovation and new construction markets.
Flexim has been formulated with natural ingredients and does not contain toxic substances that are harmful to the environment.
