Tapered Barrel Mission 14

Tapered Barrel Mission 14 is a terra cotta roof tile in the Legacy Collection of Ludowici Roof Tile. It is a mission barrel system made of small tapered mission caps and straight barrel pans, both with a smooth surface. It is the shorter, 14 1/4 inch format of the tapered mission barrel profile.

The short, tight tapered barrel tiles give an old European look to clay tile roofs. A roofing square takes 270 pieces, and the larger piece count spreads the color of a color blended roof pattern over more tiles. Tapered Barrel Mission 14 is part of the line that carries the mark Made in America for over 125 years.

The field tile measures 7 inches by 14 1/4 inches overall. It is laid at an exposure of 9 1/2 inches center to center by 11 1/4 inches.
