Roman Tile

The Roman Empire fell in the fifth century, but its architectural innovations — and its use of clay tile, in particular — had a lasting impact that’s still seen today. 

Rome’s most obvious contribution to modern clay tile may be seen in our continued use of the imbrex and tegula roofing method. Imbrex and tegula roofs offer a roofing solution that’s both functional and aesthetically pleasing, and can be found today from Europe to Asia to North America.
