Some of the earliest roof tiles documented were connected with the simultaneous rise of monumental architecture in ancient Greece. Tile installation — which included the traditional barrel tile shapes — also incorporated a flat pan underneath the barrel-shaped Baja Mission top. Redland's Roman Pans replicates this architectural legacy. When coupled with any of Redland's Baja Mission or Baja Mission Sandcast tops, the combination of barrel tops with flat pans offers an attractive alternative to the traditional roof installation pattern.
Redland Clay Tile. From the heart of the land. Naturally this ideal befits the name, because the clay of every two-piece Redland tile is truly of the earth. A harmonious union with the very land that helped create it.
Historically, clay tile was formed by hand. As a result, personality was always a part of the handmade process. A process that is perfectly imperfect, with pleasurable variations in color, texture and shape that identifies a bond between the craftsperson and the craft itself.
