Authentic Spanish recycle roof tile made in USA
Brava Barrel Tile is a revolutionary composite roof tile that simulates the natural appearance of Spanish tile (aka Double Roman tile), but outperforms it in many ways. Traditional clay tiles are very brittle and heavy, and they require expensive structural reinforcements. They are also very labor-intensive to install. Breakage of up to 20% during shipping, installation and maintenance is very common; this adds unexpected expense to your budget.
Brava Barrel Tile is impervious to the elements and virtually indestructible with no breakage. It is a lightweight composite that requires no extra structural support and offers ease of installation. Made in the USA of 100% post-industrial recycled polyethylene, Brava turns plastic destined for the landfill into a gorgeous roofline that will add a notable architectural feature for the life of your home or building.
Brava Spanish Tile comes in a traditional Vintage Terra Cotta color, but is also available in 12 other multi-colored blends, and even custom colors (for custom color fill out the form above or call us for a quote). What sets Brava apart from other brands is its variegated colors, i.e. two or more colors in one tile that provide a realistic appearance. This patented and unique multi-coloring process runs all the way through the tile and, therefore, never wears off. No other roofing tile offers this appearance.
Brava Spanish Barrel Tile not only provides a lasting beauty and value to your home, but it also adds protection for your home and peace of mind for you. That's because it requires almost no maintenance. It offers an investment that will last as long as your home and provide excellent resale value.
All of Brava's products have undergone extensive testing and have received 3rd party certifications for the highest levels of wind, fire, and hail resistance. They are all backed by a 50-year limited warranty. Brava won't freeze, thaw, crack, decay, or burn. Brava Barrel Tile carries a Class 4 impact rating and a Class A or C fire rating. This may significantly reduce your insurance premiums in certain states. Finally, it's the only Spanish-style synthetic roofing that is approved for winds of 110+ MPH in Dade County, Florida.
