Impervious to free-thaw cycles and fire, concrete roofing is as solid as, well, concrete. Available in a wide variety of colors, designs and weights, these new tiles can also be custom plended.

Standard weight tiles are 980 pounds per 100 square feet, with a lightweight tile weighing in at 695 pounds per 100 square feet.

Slate, Shake and European patterns are approximately 10 3/8" X 15 1/4" and use 122 tiles to cover 100 square feet. The Mission tile application requires about 118 tiles per 100 square feet
