Hanson Shingles

Hanson’s products emulate the look of traditional slate, clay tile, and cedar shake roofs to blend with any architectural style. Tile surfaces can be smooth or textured with uniform or ragged edges. Hanson’s regional plants use “more oxides to generate better, longer-lasting colors.” (official site) Tiles can be single-color, or use blended shades and patterns.

Installation

Concrete tile is very heavy and is best installed by trained and licensed professionals. Special attention must be paid to the underlying roof structure. However, once installed, tile roofs are essentially maintenance-free.
