Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Ludowici tiles are made of locally-sourced, natural materials (clay and water) through a unique process which creates no waste. We go to great efforts to be good stewards of the land we harvest. Our tiles are chemically inert, making them forever safe. Moreover, all Ludowici products are 100% recyclable. They may be reused to create a beautiful vintage roof. At the end of their lifespan they can be recycled and used as filler and filter components for future construction.

Reducing Energy Consumption

Energy savings exceeding 20% are common with a Ludowici roof (versus an asphalt roof). With a number of standard colors that meet a Solar Reflective Index (SRI) of greater than 39, Ludowici offers proven energy-efficiency without limiting color choices. Finally, explore Ludowici’s rain screen system to discover more ways to save energy throughout the building envelope.

Unmatched Durability

Unlike other roofing materials, Ludowici terra cotta tiles have a life expectancy of over 100 years. Our tiles also do not require maintenance, saving the environment from harsh chemical cleaners and landfills from filling up with roofing products that need to be replaced every 10 years. This means Ludowici tiles offer the lowest life cycle costs in the industry.
