About us - Northern Roof Tiles US Inc
Experts in New and Reclaimed Clay Roof Tiles Since 1991.
Northern Roof Tiles was originally founded to source new clay roof tiles from Europe for American projects. But we also needed to solve a common but frustrating problem—finding a matching roof tile. We’ve built an inventory and a vast network of reclaimed tile sources, but what sets us apart is our ability to identify almost any clay roof tile from a photo. Then, we either supply it from our stock or go find it for you.
Northern Roof Tiles has built a reputation as the go-to expert in matching and sourcing reclaimed clay roof tiles across the country. With deep knowledge of historic and regional tile styles, we support roofing contractors, architects, and homeowners in preserving the character and integrity of clay tile roofs.
We work with tiles from all over North America and Europe—matching everything from early 20th-century Ludowici tiles to handmade Spanish and English profiles. Whether you’re repairing storm damage, restoring a heritage home, or just replacing a few broken tiles, we’re here to help.
Over the decades, we’ve built relationships with demolition contractors, salvage yards, and specialty suppliers across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. This allows us to track down rare and discontinued tiles that others often overlook. We can even advise on blends and alternatives when an exact match isn’t available—always prioritizing aesthetics, durability, and authenticity. Our process is hands-on and personal, because we know every roof tells a story—and every detail matters.
Who We Are
Northern is a family-owned importer of clay roofing tiles primarily from Europe. Stuart founded the business in 1991, so this year we celebrate our 34th anniversary, making Northern Roof Tiles one of the oldest established importers of clay roof tiles in North America.
What We Do
From the beginning, our focus has been to provide an extensive selection of clay tiles in various profiles, shapes, sizes, colors, and textures.
But sometimes you don’t need an entirely new roof. We started selling reclaimed roof tiles as a way of preserving clay roofs, which can last for decades—if not hundreds of years. We think it would be a tragedy to replace a whole roof just because of a few missing pieces.
Why Might You Be Interested
If you’ve never considered using clay roof tiles because of assumed cost, compatibility with your home’s style, or climate suitability, we’re here to change that perception. Clay tiles aren’t just red or Mediterranean—they come in countless styles and can handle harsh environments.
We also offer guidance on proper installation methods, compatibility with existing roof systems, and long-term maintenance strategies. Our goal isn’t just to supply tiles—it’s to help ensure the longevity, beauty, and performance of your roof for decades to come.
Before contacting us, be warned: we’re passionate—some say obsessive—about clay roof tiles.
Welcome to our world, a world of magnificently beautiful clay tile roofs.
