Decra Tile
The traditional clay tile roof is a mandatory design element for enhancing the exotic cupolas and complex roof tiers prevalent in Mediterranean themes. DECRA Tile provides this essential scalloped-style aesthetic without the shortcomings of clay.
Homes that require the classic look of Mediterranean tile face a challenging set of weather and maintenance issues. DECRA Tile provides the essential scalloped beauty of Mediterranean tile without the vulnerability of clay or concrete tiles.
While conventional tiles provide the required aesthetic elements, they crack easily and are prone to hail and storm debris impact. Clay tiles also absorb up to 15% of their weight in water and have such poor wind uplift characteristics that they aren’t warrantied against wind damage at all. These deficiencies rule them out as a viable option for roofs in challenging seasonal climates.
Durable, lightweight, and effortlessly elegant, DECRA Tile outclasses and outlasts conventional tile and is backed by the strength of stone-coated steel to stand up against the elements.

All DECRA roofs are backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty, covering 120 mph winds and hail up to 2.5 inches in diameter.
Beauty and Style of Mediterranean Tile
Scallop-style DECRA Tile provides the classic look of Mediterranean tile without the shortcomings of conventional clay or concrete tiles.
Conventional tiles fracture easily and over time can absorb up to 15% of their weight in moisture, adding unnecessary weight and stress on the roof’s supporting structure. Hail, storm debris, and even walking can
cause damage to traditional clay tile roofs.
DECRA Tile blends the strength and durability of stone-coated steel with the essential scalloped beauty of Mediterranean tile to elegantly stand up to hail, rain, fire, storm debris, and even hurricane-force winds.
