TM Enduring Heritage The Ludowici legacy of Old World craftsmanship started 400 years ago in Rome where the Ludovisi family became famous for its expertly crafted roof tile. As European demand grew, the family moved to Germany and the name was changed to the Germanized Ludowici. In the late 1800’s Carl Ludowici moved the family and his Old World craftsmanship to America establishing a roof tile company in Chicago. Ludowici Roof Tile Company prospered. Eventually all Ludowici tile making operations were consolidated into the New Lexington, Ohio factory.

Since 1888, Ludowici has been the premier producer of clay roof tiles. Its portfolio includes some of the most beautiful buildings and homes in the world. For many, Ludowici tile is the element that defines the look of the building. All across the US, thousands of structures illustrate the benefits of a Ludowici clay tile roof: unique and lasting beauty. Finding the right match Selecting the roof, which is 50-70% of the visual impact, is a critical component of building design. The roof often defines the character and the tone of the building.

This quality is achieved through the combination of the finest materials, centuries of craftsmanship and excellence in manufacturing2. Highest quality materials Ludowici benefits from what’s considered to be the very best clay material in the world thanks to its Ohio location. This clay is processed with the highest manufacturing standards. Ludowici uses better material, ground into smaller particles and fired longer and at higher temperatures than any of its competitors. Best Warranty This quest for quality has several benefits. First, the tile is suited to all climates, from cold arctic conditions to the heat of the tropics3. Second, the color, literally vitrified into the tile, will never fade, leaving no avenue for moss or sun to alter the roof. Finally, this blend of Old World craftsmanship and modern technology allows Ludowici to stand behind the best warranty in the industry: 75 years. 120 year track record But, more important than a written warranty, Ludowici roofs have endured the test of time. Its tiles have routinely topped structures for over 120 years, providing peace of mind for generations.

In addition to comprising 50 to 70% of the exterior’s initial visual impact, it also sets the character, style, and tone of the architecture. Ludowici has 30 standard profiles and limitless custom profiles to fit the full range of architectural styles from Old World to contemporary. Sixty standard colors and infinite custom colors are available to coordinate with unlimited building materials and finishes. Selecting a Profile and Texture In selecting a Ludowici roof, first select a tile profile. Any Ludowici color can be applied to the various profiles, thus selecting a color should be secondary. Tiles can be categorized in three groups: Shingle tiles are tiles with small exposures and unique surface textures ranging from smooth to rough. These tiles are often used on Old World European styled buildings. Flat slab shingle tiles can be customized with additional textures and warped to achieve a wide range of effects. Interlocking tiles are a more economical choice for a flat tile. These tiles come in six different textures to create unique looks from Old World to contemporary. LudoSlate TM tile is lightweight and has the texture and colors of natural slate at a lower cost and weight. Barrel tiles come in two varieties. Two piece Mission barrel tiles are the true authentic look of France, Italy and Spain. Spanish tiles (also referred to as one piece “S” tiles) have a slightly lower barrel and are less expensive. 8 of 52 L u d o w i c i . c o m Selecting Colors & Blends Color is one of the most important aspects of selecting a roof. Clay red is the base color of all Ludowici roof tiles. All other colors are applied to the base tile at over 2000° F via a ceramic glazing process. This results in a permanent finish that will not fade or flake off. Colors will not lighten, darken or change from exposure to the elements throughout the entire life of the building. Many roofs are a blend of two or more colors. By mixing colors, a wide range of looks can be achieved from a subtle range of tones to a striking blend of colors. If a color is unable to be located to meet the aesthetic needs of discerning customers, Ludowici Roof Tile can develop a custom color. Ludowici’s ceramic engineers create over 200 custom colors a year. Selecting Accessories Trim is the third element that defines the overall look of the roof. Ludowici offers a wide range of trim from the stylized ornate 206 and 211 to the clean and simple lines of the V-Hip/Ridge and Circular Covers. Ludowici trim are designed to be compatible with all profiles. Ludowici Roof Tile continues to produce numerous historic trim parts as well as custom trim in addition to standard trim parts.

The rustic shingle tiles have built-in variations in length to create a minimal stagger. To create more texture on the roof and add to the rustic look, all of Ludowici’s shingle tiles can be laid in a staggered pattern. Booster tiles can be randomly added to the field to create even more texture giving the roof a true old-cottage feel. Standard Installation The tiles are laid in straight rows.

Unlike asphalt, wood, concrete, and synthetic roofing materials, Ludowici colors do not fade, spald, effloresce or significantly change color over time. Ludowici colors are comprised of mineral frits and pigments that are sprayed onto tiles and then fired on at over 2,000° F. All colors come with Ludowici’s standard 75 year warranty. For a copy of this warranty please visit Ludowici.com To fully see the range in the color(s) you are using, request at least three samples from your Ludowici representative. When reviewing color samples remember to view them at several different times of the day. As the sun moves across the sky striking the tiles at different angles perception of the color will change. Be sure to have samples of the other components of the exterior skin available, such as stucco, rock, brick and fascia color, to compare with the roof selection. This will further assure a harmonious appearance that meets your expectations. If you don’t see a color that meets your aesthetic needs contact your Ludowici representative for assistance in developing a custom color. Ludowici Roof Tile creates over 200 custom colors a year. Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) The ability of a roof to reflect solar radiation is an important component in the overall green aspects of the structure. The US Green Building Council and Energy Star have set a minimum Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of 29 for roofing. The SRI is calculated from physical testing of solar reflectance and thermal emittance. An SRI of 29 or higher will save the building owner money by reducing energy costs associated with cooling and give longer AC unit life, as a result of decreased air conditioning loads. In addition, cool roofs combat the urban heat island effect caused by roofs and other non-reflective surfaces absorbing and trapping solar radiation or heat. For colors that have a SRI > 29 1 LEED credit is available. For more information on sustainability and the green aspects of Ludowici visit Ludowici.com SRI= <29 36 of 52 SRI= >29 L u d o w i c i . c o m Range Part of the charm and character of a clay tile roof is the subtle range of color within a given color. Because of positioning in the kiln and the nature of ceramic glazes all Ludowici colors have range. To fully see the range in selected color(s), customers should request and review at least three samples. To ensure an even distribution of the range across the entire roof, at least four pallets should be blended during installation. Clay Red The base or natural clay color of all Ludowici tiles is Clay Red. A standard color from day one at Ludowici, Clay Red integrates well with a wide range of building styles and finishes. Natural variations in the clay and firing process give today’s Clay Red a subtle range from dark orange, to red, to reddish brown. Due to variations in the clay mine and firing techniques, Clay Red used on projects older than 50 years of age tend to be a lighter shade of orange. To match these historic tiles, Ludowici applies a matte orange color to new Clay Red pieces. Ludowici professionals are skilled in assisting customers with tile matching and replacement needs for historic or older structures. Ebony Mist One way to achieve a variegated, aged look is to apply Ebony Mist. Ludowici has three variations of this application; full range going from nearly full coverage Ebony to tiles with just a dusting of Ebony on them. Light to medium Ebony Mist has a minimal aged look, while medium to heavy gives the centuries old look of tiles in the English countryside. Ebony Mist is applied by hand and intentionally has range. To achieve a natural blend without hot spots, tiles should be blended from at least four pallets during installation. To achieve other effects or variations of the Old World look, all of Ludowici’s matte colors can be applied in a mist effect similar to Ebony Mist.

Wider variations in color than normal (within a single color) can be achieved by blending similar colors together.

The Impressionist Series utilizes two or three complementary shades applied randomly over a base color to create the patina of a century old roof.

This produces an effect that is harmonious and aesthetically pleasing as the changing light of day dances across the roofline, boldly highlighting the intricate interplay of colors.

To accommodate the geometry of a curved roof, Ludowici artfully tapers tile to become progressively smaller from the bottom to the top of a curved roof. These graduated tiles are custom designed to fit a specific roof. This custom process requires Ludowici to send technicians to the jobsite to take detailed field measurements of the physical structure. Ludowici craftsmen use these drawings to design patterns and molds for each row of tiles. Graduated tiles are then pressed from these molds and are finished to match the rest of the roof tiles. Ludowici crafts graduated tiles to match all of its tile profiles.
