Why Ludowici Tiles

History From 1624 to Today

Ludowici history from the Ludovisi family in Rome to the company’s clay-tile legacy and New Lexington factory

Unbreakable Roof Tiles

Dense, kiln-fired terra cotta gives Ludowici tile the strength required for a roof designed to remain serviceable for generations.
Best Tile For Miami’s Extreme Weather

We specify approved Ludowici assemblies for South Florida exposure and document the attachment, underlayment, and flashing details required for the project.
Longest-Lasting Protection From Moisture

Low water absorption helps fired clay resist the warping, cracking, and surface deterioration associated with more porous roofing materials.
Health-Conscious Mold & Mildew Protection

A dense clay body and smooth fired surface create an inhospitable environment for the moisture-driven growth common in South Florida.
Rest Easy With Minimal Maintenance

Ludowici color is fired into the tile rather than applied as a field coating, reducing the recoating and repainting associated with other tile products.
Highest Safety Rating From Fire

When installed as an approved assembly, clay tile provides the highest fire-resistance classification available for a roof covering.

Explore Our Extensive Range Of Tiles

Barrel Tile

From the classic architecture of Ancient Greece to the rustic missions of California, barrel tile has become synonymous with clay roof tile.

Interlocking Roof Tile

The classic aesthetics, versatility, and efficient installation make Ludowici interlocking clay roof tiles a favorite of architects and homeowners alike.

Shake Tile Roof

Ludowici wood-shake alternatives achieve the charm of a classic wood shake roof without the maintenance demands of wood.

Ludowici slate alternatives feature the beauty of natural slate with the enhanced durability and color stability of fired terra cotta.

Custom Roof Tile

Custom shapes, blends, textures, and color matching let architects restore a historic roof or create a finish unique to one home.

The Ludowici Difference

Luxury Tiles & Unbeatable Service From Start To Finish

Custom Craftsmanship

Profiles, colors, and finish textures can be tailored to a home’s architectural style. Custom work can also reproduce the character of aged terra cotta for restoration projects.

Exceptional Quality

Ludowici tile is made from clay and fired for permanence. Careful material selection and production control produce consistent pieces without relying on surface sealers.

Minimal Maintenance

Unlike products that need periodic coating or painting to preserve their appearance, fired terra cotta is designed to retain its finish with straightforward roof care.

Timeless Color

High-temperature kiln firing fuses the finish to the clay body, giving Ludowici roofs their distinctive color depth and long-term fade resistance.

Affordable Luxury

The initial material cost is measured against a service life that can span generations. We help compare profiles and assemblies against the home, budget, and design goal.

Personal Service

Homeowners, architects, and builders receive hands-on guidance through profile selection, color review, estimating, ordering, and installation planning.

Hands-on Technical Service

Ludowici’s technical team supports takeoffs, tile identification, detail drawings, and system questions while Istueta coordinates field conditions and installation.

Trusted Logistics & Installers

Tile is packed and transported carefully to reduce breakage. Istueta’s Elite Crown installation team carries that same attention through the finished roof.
