A clay tile can offer extra moldability and color options as well as improved color retention. Traditional clay tile roofs were often available in just orange or red but today’s tile roof can come in almost any color and in a variety of different shapes and sizes. You can get a style that resembles a Spanish villa or something more modern for your choice.

Slate
