Ludowici Roof Tile
Ludowici Roof Tile is one of the most environmentally friendly options available in roofing. It is made of natural materials, clay and water. It is sustainable. Ludowici tile is warranted for 75 years, but there are many Ludowici roofs in the US and worldwide that are over 100 years old. Learn more. LudoSlate™
LudoSlate™ has the beauty of slate, but is much more reasonably priced and lighter weight than most mined slate and even some synthetic(plastic) slate products. It has a 75 year warranty, weighs 598 lbs per square, has a permanent color that is guaranteed not to fade, chalk or effloresce. LudoSlate (as with all Ludowici products) has an average water absorption rate of 1%, making it impervious to moisture, heat, fire and freeze/thaw cycles. LudoSlate™ is a Grade 1 roof tile as defined by ASTM C11167. Learn more. Limitless Selection
Limitless is the best way to describe Ludowici's selection. With dozens of current standard profiles, historical styles spanning Ludowici's 120-year history and the capability to create or match custom designs, nearly any shape imaginable can grace your roof. Add in Ludowici's full spectrum of colors and finishing techniques, along with an extensive line of accessories, and the result is truly a vision without compromise. This photo shows a mockup of Ludowici tile that was made to match old tile from Mifflin Hood, which is no longer in business. Learn more.
For over a century, Ludowici's clay roof tile has been renowned by architects for its beauty and durability. A roof crafted from Ludowici roof tile typically lasts well over a century, and is backed by the industry's most comprehensive warranty program. Ludowici’s capabilities, both in color and style, are truly limitless. Learn more.
