Our Authentic Clay Tile Fires the Imagination

The US Tile Co. was founded in July 1973 in Corona, CA (where it remains to this day), based on a belief in the timeless beauty of authentic clay roof tile. Inspired by centuries-old European architecture and the influence of Spanish Colonial buildings throughout the southwest, US Tile led the way in defining the roofscapes of a rapidly expanding region.

From its rustic beginnings, relying on old-world equipment and techniques, US Tile set the pace. The standard would be authentic clay. The palette would be kiln-fired earthen hues.


Today the company is situated on 27.5 acres, with a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant, housing more than 180,000 square feet under its roof, producing a broad range of clay tile meeting the needs of today’s design professionals. We have become the #1 seller of clay roof tile in the U.S., yet nothing has really changed; the handcrafted look and authenticity of our work remains.

Our innovations and accomplishments include:
  • Largest manufacturer of clay roof tile in the U.S.
  • Favored by custom home builders 2-to-1 over other clay roofs
  • Offer the widest array of kiln-fired earthen hues on the market.
  • Value engineered Mission one-piece “S” tile requiring 50% fewer pieces of tile per square versus typical two-piece tile.
  • Value engineered a “Faux Mission” economical solution for achieving the look of a two-piece mission roofscape at far less cost.
  • The first to achieve true lightweight authentic clay tile, weighing on average less than 6 pounds per square foot; an advance in value engineering that opened a whole new world of possibilities in re-roofing.
  • CRRC Rated US Tile Authentic Clay Cool Roofs: reducing energy consumption, qualifying for energy rebates, providing greater thermal comfort.
  • Established the largest distribution network of any clay tile manufacturer in the U.S.
  • Offered a revolutionary warranty that is fully transferable, picks up labor costs for latent tile defects, and includes color-fading coverage.
  • LEED Credits – First in helping architects achieve credits in such areas as Cool Roof and Heat Island Effect, Energy Performance, Innovation in Design, and use of Local/Regional Materials.
