THE PROCESS is fairly simple but is very time consuming and labor intensive. We start with high quality raw clay which is finely ground and cleaned of impurities. We then add water and form the barrel tiles by hand. They are then allowed to dry. Once dry the handmade barrel tile are placed in a kiln and fired over hardwood chunks. Once fired the tile are palletized and shipped to our facility in Miami Florida. The entire process takes a few weeks but is well worth the wait as each tile is a one of a kind natural artisan product.
Below is a quick video and a few images from our factory which demonstrate the process behind a true hand made clay barrel roof tile.
