Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

One-piece “S” clay tile is a long-service-life choice for Spanish and Mediterranean designs; El Camino Blend gives a variegated, weathered look. Order 5-10% overage for cuts, breakage and future repairs, and confirm the per-square quantity from US Tile’s current coverage data. Follow the manufacturer’s fastening schedule and local code, especially in high-wind areas.

Clay tile is heavy and brittle underfoot: use roof ladders or walk pads during installation and follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local code.
