Spanish 13

Spanish 13 is a 13 1/4 inch barrel tile in the Legacy Collection. It is a one-piece barrel design with a short nominal length and a pronounced repeating ripple across the roof. The profile is made in terra cotta and belongs to the family of clay and concrete tile roofing products used on residential buildings.

Spanish tile is made in a second profile of 18 3/8 inches. The 13 1/4 inch length distinguishes this product from the longer Spanish tile. The profile suits styles from small bungalows to large public institutions.
