GREEN PROMISE Terra cotta is an energy-efficient, sustainable choice for your building project. At Ludowici, we are committed to manufacturing architectural terra cotta products that honor their heritage from the earth. There are many qualifications that we strive to meet each and every day, to help us live up to this promise. UNMATCHED DURABILITY Unlike other roofing materials, Ludowici terra cotta tiles have a life expectancy of over 100 years. Our tiles also do not require maintenance, saving the environment from harsh chemical cleaners and landfills from filling up with roofing products that need to be replaced every 10 years. This means Ludowici tiles offer the lowest life cycle costs in the industry. REDUCE. REUSE. RECYCLE. Ludowici tiles are made of locally-sourced, natural materials (clay and water) through a unique process which creates no waste. We go to great efforts to be good stewards of the land we harvest. Our tiles are chemically inert, making them forever safe. Moreover, all Ludowici products are 100% recyclable. At the end of their lifespan they can be recycled and used as filler and filter components for future construction. REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION Energy savings exceeding 20% are common with a Ludowici roof. 1 With a number of standard colors that meet a Solar Reflective Index (SRI) greater than 39, Ludowici offers proven energy-efficiency without limiting color choices. Finally, explore Ludowici’s rainscreen system to discover more ways to save energy throughout the building envelope. LUDO 360 Ludo 360 is a special clay body blend made of clay scrap, shale and waste material that produces a clay tile with 40% postindustrial content. Ludowici can make any of our standard profiles, trim pieces and accessories with our Ludo 360 clay body. Add that to one of our LEED, CRRC and Energy Star color glazes and you have a truly environmentally friendly roof option. 1 Cooling cost savings vs. asphalt, Florida Solar Energy Center 2008 © Ludowici Roof Tile, Inc.
