Verea Spanish S Clay Roof Tile

A True Alternative to Altusa and Traditional Spanish Profiles

If you are trying to match a traditional Spanish “S” roof tile — especially Altusa — finding the right replacement can be a challenge.

The Verea Spanish “S” tile offers one of the closest visual matches available today, while delivering modern performance and consistency.

What Makes the Verea Spanish “S” Tile Different

Unlike many interlocking substitutes, Verea stays true to the original Spanish profile.

That means:

• A more authentic “S” shape
• Proper shadow lines and depth
• A closer match to older installations

From the ground, the difference matters.

Designed for Performance

While the look is traditional, the engineering is modern.

Verea Spanish “S” tiles offer:

• Consistent manufacturing and sizing
• Reliable weather resistance
• Strong performance in coastal environments
• Suitability for both new builds and replacement projects
• ASTM C1167 Grade 1
• Metro Dade County approved
  

This makes them ideal for climates like Florida, the Caribbean, and other high-exposure regions.

Matching Altusa Roof Tiles

Many projects today involve roofs originally installed with Altusa clay tiles.

Since Altusa is no longer in production, finding a close match is critical — both visually and technically.

The Verea Spanish “S” tile provides:

• A similar profile and scale
• Compatible appearance when blended with existing roofs
• A cleaner, more consistent finish (no surface markings or text)

Why Architects and Homeowners Choose Verea

• Closer match to traditional Spanish tiles than most modern alternatives
• Clean, natural clay finish (no stamped branding on the face)
• Proven performance in demanding climates
• Reliable availability compared to discontinued products

Is This the Right Tile for Your Project?

If you are:

• Trying to match an existing roof
• Replacing discontinued tiles like Altusa
• Designing a Spanish or Mediterranean-style home

The Verea Spanish “S” tile is one of the best options available today.
