You can purchase clay tiles that mimic other materials such as slate or wood, or you can purchase it with its natural look, that will give your home a Spanish or Italian flair. Made from natural materials, clay tile roofing is eco-friendly, but calls for a lot of energy to make it and is quite expensive.
