Century Shake® is a thick profile interlocking terra cotta tile with rugged texture and uneven surface. This tile has pressed grooves with a lightly scratched hand-split texture and rugged butt to mirror the appearance of real wood shakes—without the maintenance. Century Shake Premier® is offered in three different tile sizes—creating a random width appearance for a more authentic shake roof look.

Our shake tile alternatives come standard in (7) popular colors: Aged Cedar, Earth Gray, Ebony Mist, Golden Red Cedar, Sienna, Western Cedar, and White Cedar and can be customized to any standard Ludowici color blend.

Ludowici’s Century Shake interlocking clay roof tile is covered by a 75-year material warranty.
