Traditional shingle tile

Santa Ana Essex - Aged Beauty, Modern Craftsmanship.

The Santa Ana Essex Tile is a large-format shingle-style clay tile, ideal for projects seeking a refined, traditional look with modern performance. Available in a range of finishes—including smooth, weathered, and wire-scored—the Essex tile offers a subtle aged appearance that adds depth and character to any roof. 

Color options like Red, Limestone, Maduro, Pewter, Red Flash, and Tobacco allow for both bold and understated palettes, while the tile’s clean lines and generous size create a timeless silhouette with fewer pieces per square. Whether you’re designing a custom home or restoring a heritage property, the Santa Ana Essex brings warmth, texture, and enduring style.
