The Curved tile is the barrel system in its original form: a pan and a cover, laid one over the other the way roofs have been built across Europe for centuries. This construction is what gives the profile depth. Each cover casts a shadow across the pan beneath it, and the surface picks up a rhythm that shifts with the light from morning through late afternoon.

Manufactured by La Escandella, Curved tile brings traditional geometry with contemporary production behind it, in twelve colors that range from clean terracotta to blended and flamed finishes. It's the profile specified when a project calls for an authentic Spanish Colonial roofline, whether that's the restoration of a historic roof or a new residence built to look like it has always been there.
