Before making a final selection, please request clay tile samples from your Ludowici sales representative. These samples will display the variations that may be expected within the color you have selected. Colors within a given shipment of Ludowici clay tile will vary slightly due to subtle changes in clay composition and kiln firing temperatures. Such color variances should not be considered a defect, but a natural, desirable feature that gives roofs crafted from Ludowici clay tile greater character and depth

11 Beauty and Sustainability, Naturally Ludowici is durable. Ludowici is warranted for 75 years. Many Ludowici roofs in the US and worldwide are 100 years old, and more. Ludowici tiles are 3 to 5 times as durable as shingle, concrete, synthetic or metal roofs. Ludowici is natural. Clay tile is made from fire clay, shale clay, and water all natural elements from the earth. Clay roof tiles are like pottery, bricks, and other ceramic products that have been produced for over 6,000 years. Ludowici is recyclable. It is not uncommon for used Ludowici tiles to get a second life on another building. Crushed tiles can serve for road sub-layers and other construction purposes. Tiles are inert and innocuous: they do not harm the environment. Ludowici saves energy. Ludowici tiles on a roof act like bricks on a wall: they create a thermal barrier that keeps the energy generated inside the building, in the building. Clay roof tiles make a building more energyefficient. Ludowici has a high product integrity. Colors will not fade. Product will not degrade. Water runoff is clean. 21
