Introduced in the 1890s, Ludowici’s French low profile interlocking clay tile is a favorite of discriminating architects and one of the most sculptured and dimensional products in our product offering. Large and durable, French terra cotta tile has deep locks on all four sides, plus two prominent flutes on the surface for both a dramatic aesthetic and superior drainage. When applied to a roof, these flutes produce a shadow effect for a highly refined, distinctive appearance. Ludowici’s French interlocking clay roof tile is covered by a 75-year material warranty.
