Lanai 14 and 16

Lanai is an interlocking clay roof tile in the Ludowici Legacy Collection, made in two sizes: Lanai 14 (14-inch) and Lanai 16 (16-inch). It has a square butt and a sandblasted, weathered surface that gives the aged look of centuries-old tile. The profile belongs to the terra cotta roof tile range that Ludowici has made in the United States for over 130 years.

The smooth-textured counterpart is Classic 14 and 16. The same profile is used for wall cladding in the NeXclad 14 and NeXclad 16 products from Terreal North America.

The installation manual sets Lanai length exposure at the tile length minus 3 inches of headlap, which gives an 11-inch exposure for the 14-inch tile and a 13-inch exposure for the 16-inch tile.
