Years of potential tile lifeWith suitable tile quality, installation and maintenance.
Natural clayKiln-firedSouth Indian heritage

Crafted from local clay in Mangalore and across South India, kiln-fired tiles bring a familiar warmth to contemporary outdoor spaces.

Known for their natural cooling properties, durability and heritage aesthetic, Mangalore tiles are a timeless roofing choice for patios, terraces, courtyards, cafés and villa decks.

Beneath the tiles, a custom metal structure provides strength and clean architectural lines. Open-sided designs encourage airflow, while glass infill can bring in daylight. Optional underlay and planned drainage help protect your space from rain.

FROM CLAY TO CRAFTHow Mangalore tiles are made
  1. 01Moulded
  2. 02Air-dried
  3. 03Kiln-fired
  4. 04Quality-checked

Clay is shaped in moulds, air-dried and then kiln-fired to develop its strength and characteristic finish. The tiles are checked for quality before they are selected for your roof. Natural variations give each installation its own character.

WHY CHOOSE MANGALORE TILES?

Comfort comes naturally.

Traditional materials, thoughtfully brought together
for the spaces you enjoy every day.

01

Naturally comfortable

Clay tile roofing helps reduce heat buildup, creating a shaded retreat for everyday use.

02

Made for the long term

A time-tested roofing material that can serve for decades with the right installation and care.

03

Unmistakable character

Warm clay tones and a heritage profile complement traditional homes and modern architecture.

04

Airflow & chosen daylight

Open sides allow air to move freely. Choose glass infill where you want more natural light.

05

A natural material

Locally sourced clay and a long service life make tiles a durable, resource-conscious choice.

06

Rain protection, planned

Optional waterproof underlay, flashings and gutters are detailed around your roof and site.

THREE WAYS TO MAKE IT YOURS

of comfort.

Different light levels. Different finishes.

BUILT FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Engineered beneath.
Elegant above.

Under every tile sits a precision-fabricated metal structure. Carefully planned beams, rafters and supports bring lasting strength to a roof with unmistakable character.

  • Anti-corrosion treated beams and rafters
  • Clean lines and integrated metal framework
  • Load-bearing design tailored to the span and roof
  • Weather-resistant construction and finishing

The structure, connections and roof load are assessed for your site to help control deflection and support long-term performance.
