Overview

Natural Red And Flashed Colors

MCA’s Improved “S” glazed roofing tile is a smart and elegant option for any prestigious project including residential and commercial buildings. Glazed surfaces not only protect the tile from severe weather and high humidity, but Improved “S” is also able to withstand wind loads up to 200 mph. Improved “S” has been used throughout the world in areas subject to occasional high-wind conditions, such as Guam and the Caribbean.

This beautiful tile is available in various glazed colors that will not wear out or fade. Improved “S” tile is suitable for both Japanese influenced architecture as well as western, contemporary designs.
