Every reclaimed roof tile tells a story. Some once crowned cottages in the English countryside; others sheltered centuries-old barns and manor houses in rural France. When you choose reclaimed clay roof tiles, you’re not just selecting a building material — you’re preserving a piece of architectural history.
At Roof Tile Solutions, we specialize in sourcing genuine reclaimed roof tiles from across Europe and bringing them to North America. Each shipment carries a legacy — tiles that have already stood the test of time, weathered storms, and witnessed generations come and go.
A Second Life for Century-Old Tiles
Reclaimed tiles are more than just sustainable — they are tangible connections to the past. Many of the tiles we identify and source originated from:
- French farmhouses and châteaux dating back 80–150 years
- English cottages and estate buildings, where hand-pressed clay tiles were the norm
- Historic monasteries and civic buildings now being carefully dismantled and preserved through reuse
These tiles are cleaned, sorted, and inspected before finding new life on homes throughout the U.S. and Canada — a perfect blend of sustainability, character, and craftsmanship.
The Beauty of Age and Imperfection
Modern reproductions can imitate the shape and colour of old tiles, but they can’t replicate their natural patina — the gentle fading, subtle edge wear, and unique mineral tones created over decades of exposure to wind, rain, and sun.
Each reclaimed tile has slight variations in hue and texture, creating a depth and richness that no new material can match. Whether you’re restoring a historic property or adding soul to a new build, reclaimed tiles give your roof the warmth and authenticity of a home that feels timeless from day one.
Sustainable by Nature
Reusing roof tiles is one of the most environmentally responsible building choices you can make. By reclaiming rather than manufacturing new tiles, we:
- Reduce landfill waste from demolished buildings
- Minimize carbon emissions associated with firing new clay
- Preserve regional craftsmanship, supporting European salvage networks and traditional artisans
Each roof becomes a small act of preservation — proof that good materials, when well made, deserve a second century of service.
Sourcing Across Europe
Our team works directly with trusted reclamation yards and demolition specialists across France, England, Belgium, and Spain. We locate, verify, and import tiles that meet both aesthetic and structural standards.
Every batch is unique — sometimes a small pallet from a Normandy farmhouse, other times a full container from an English estate restoration. Once in North America, we carefully sort, document, and store them, ready for matching and reinstallation on your project.
From a French farmhouse roof to yours — every reclaimed tile carries history, texture, and unmatched character.
Matching for Restoration and Repair
Not all projects require a full reclaimed roof — sometimes you just need to repair a section or replace a few damaged tiles on an existing heritage home.
That’s where Roof Tile Solutions truly excels. Simply send us photos of your existing roof, and our team will identify the closest possible match from our inventory or our European partners. Whether it’s a weathered French flat, a curved Roman pantile, or an English handmade plain tile, we find what others can’t.
A Roof That Tells a Story
Imagine your home topped with tiles that once sheltered generations in a small French village or formed the roofline of an English countryside chapel. These materials aren’t just functional — they’re cultural artifacts, blending heritage with artistry and endurance.
Reclaimed tiles bring that authenticity home. Each roof becomes a living museum piece — beautiful, sustainable, and one of a kind.
