Description of Marselha roofing tile


Their flat shape with a double channel enables them to be highly impervious to wind and rain, hindering eventual whirls caused by mighty rivers in periods of heavy rain as well as tree leaves and other things brought by the wind.
Their traditional design of fine proportions maintains the beauty of old Portuguese roofs. So, French gutter tiles are those chosen to restore roofs from old houses.


This model has the following advantages:

» Resistence: this is due to the high baking temperature (about 1050 ºC);

» Fine Colour: because of both the careful selection of pulp and the high baking temperature;

» Traditional aesthetic effect, which is achieved from a design of fine proportions in order to reproduce the beauty of old Portuguese roofs.

» Better imperviousness due to the kind of fitting. This enables one to obtain a "closer" roof (if compared to the Normal Portuguese tile model), which is especially advantageous in slabless roofs;

» Quicker laying due to the shape of the fitting. It also means less costs for each m2 laid;

» There are two different ways to lay these kind of tiles, since they have been carefully designed to allow to make the roof either with aligned courses or courses which go different ways. In both cases the result is a perfect fitting.
