Tradi 12 & Optima

Sometimes known in North America as a Bar profile, the French tiles offered by Northern Roof Tiles are interlocking and available with satin and glazed finishes.

"Marseille tile" was based on a design created by the French Gilardoni Brothers in 1850. Later a group of manufacturers in Marseille, France – refined the original design and commercialized large numbers of the new interlocking tile. The tiles were enormously popular outside of France, and were exported all over the world. Gray clay was primarily used in Europe and red terracotta in Latin American and the colonies.

Alegra 8, Tempest 44 &VHV

In our world Gaelic or Gothic refers to the interlocking tile with a wide flat pan and smaller tapered barrel covering the interlock. This style of tile is found throughout Europe and primarily used in Belgium, Northern France and Germany with a great number of regional variations.

For example the small Tempest 44 tile is traditionally found in Belgium, where it was first made in 1846. Whereas the Alegra 8 is a much larger tile and found in Northern France and Germany. Most variations are available in a wide range of weathered finishes, as well as satin and glazed colors
