Tile. For the way it looks.
And the way it lasts.
Few roof products are as beautiful or enduring as MonierLifetile
concrete roof tiles. With so many styles and colors to choose from, you’ll
find that adding a tile roof to your home is one of the easiest and most effective ways to
complement its look and increase its value.
Tile is timeless
Only tile enables you to achieve authentic, old-world aesthetics with the benefits of
durable, modern materials. MonierLifetile has captured all the characteristics of
natural slate, clay and wood – which are
historically the world’s most widespread
roofing materials – in a concrete tile.
The result is a tile roof of unmatched beauty
and a home with incredible curb appeal.
MonierLifetile is continually acknowledged by the industry
for our product innovations. And three of our most popular products -
MonierLifetile Madera, Cedarlite and Boosted Barcelona - replicate authentic
materials, while reducing installation costs and increasing longevity and energy efficiency.
2 Code Approval: Complies with all building codes including but not limited to ICC ESR-1647. Some approvals are regional and only apply
to locally produced products; please contact MLT before transporting product across state lines. Specifically, products used in the Miami Dade County region of Florida require special testing and recognition.
Disclaimer: The printed colors shown in this brochure may vary from actual available tile colors. Before making a final selection, be sure to review actual tile samples and roof installations. Please contact your local sales office for further assistance. Categories, typographical errors subject to change without notice. No performance guarantee is offered or implied beyond that expressly indicated.
Efflorescence is a temporary surface condition which is common to all concrete products. The process is caused by the chemical nature of cement. This reaction can appear as an overall chalky white bloom (a softening of color) or in more concentrated patches. It is difficult to predict how long the effects of efflorescence will last. It depends on the type and amount of deposit as well as local weather conditions. The action of carbon dioxide and rainwater will gradually remove the deposit, in most cases, leaving the original color of the roof intact without further efflorescence occurring. It is superficial and in no way affects the quality or functional properties of the tile. Installation: Please consult the Tile Roofing Institute (TRI) Installation guides for application recommendations.
Technical specifications do not constitute a warranty by MonierLifetile. The only applicable warranty with respect to this product is the Limited Lifetime, Fully Transferable, Non-Prorated Product Warranty for tile contained in MonierLifetile’s product literature, dated most recently prior to the installation of this product on the owner’s roof. For more warranty information, please call (888) 926-2585.

Being Green
Our Tradition and Promise
Protect Your Home And Family With MonierLifetile's
Fire Resistant Roof System
It’s long been known that concrete roof tile is the
best choice available for a fire resistant roofing
material. MonierLifetile’s concrete roof tile systems
undergo the most stringent testing for fire safety
and pass with a Class A fire rating, the best rating
available. Topping your home with a MonierLifetile
roof is a smart decision indeed, but there are other
fire resistant roof system components that can
protect your home from wind blown flames and embers
that can enter through a home's vulnerable vents.
MonierLifetile is pleased to offer Brandguard Vents, the leading flame and ember
resistant vents. They protect homes and buildings from the threat of wildfire and
nearby structural fires. The overlapping baffles in the vents act as a barrier to prevent
the intrusion of flames and embers, through a structure’s vulnerable vent openings.
The patent pending design has comparable net free vent area (NFVA) to conventional
vents and allows for sufficient exchange of air to prevent mold issues and save
energy. Brandguard Vents were the first commercially available vents designed to
meet the new Chapter 7A requirements of the California Building Code. This new
code requires builders and roofers to use vents that resist the intrusion of flames
and embers when building in fire-prone areas. All Brandguard vents are made with
26 gauge G-90 galvanized steel for durability, are readily paintable, and carry a 20-year
manufacturer’s warranty.
A Single Roof Can Impact Our World
MonierLifetile is the roofing product that has been green for decades in the U.S. and for a generation through our European
lineage. As a leader in the Green Building movement, MonierLifetile is committed to using naturally available materials
which mitigates the negative impact to the environment and emphasizes conservation and energy efficiency.
Concrete roof tile is inherently sustainable. The durable lifecycle of MonierLifetile products – from beginning to end – meets
the needs of the present without compromising those of the future. MonierLifetile is committed to reducing the total
amount of greenhouse gases produced – from the environmentally conscious manufacture of the product; to the plant to
market transport radius; to the ultimate re-use and recyclability – thereby minimizing our carbon footprint.
Concrete roof tile is known for its longevity and small footprint on the planet. Being a Green leader, MonierLifetile
is committed to providing the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly tile roof system in the U.S.
Class A Fire Rating Test

Cedarlite 600 and MonierLifetile Madera 700 are the most
affordable, authentic replication of a hand-split cedar shake roof
available. With its realistic wood shake surface, MonierLifetile
Madera will complement any architectural style.
España 600 reflects the classic style and distinctiveness of
Spanish architecture, popular in the early California missions that
stretched from San Diego de Alcalá to San Francisco Solamo.
Villa 600 emulates the most popular tile in the world; faithfully
recreating the beautiful Mediterranean style popular in Italy
and Southern France.

When you’re considering a new roof, take a good look at MonierLifetile. You’ll find our roof tile enhances
your home or building’s appearance like no other roofing material.
MonierLifetile is the first manufacturer to create a lightweight tile. Our 600 Series tiles weigh less than 6
pounds per square foot, and are truly lightweight. They are designed from the outset to be sub-600, while
still passing our stringent requirements for strength and weather resistance.
So discover the lasting beauty of MonierLifetile’s Lightweight Collection. It could quite possibly be the last
roof you’ll ever need.
España 600
This beautiful range of designs is representative of the roof styles
found in England, northern Europe and the Eastern Seaboard
states and is versatile enough to accentuate any architectural style.

MonierLifetile manufactures hip starters and apex tiles that ease installation. All of MonierLifetile’s trim products

At MonierLifetile we view a roof as not a mere tile covering but a dynamic, performing system that protects, breathes
and ages with the structure. By studying roof performance characteristics and failure points, we have created Roof System
Components – a collection of components that, when installed properly and used comprehensively, result in a tile roof
that lasts longer and increases energy savings.
Ensures all areas of a roof are protected and utilized for optimum performance
Improves weatherproofing and “breatheability” of a tile roof

Increases airflow and ventilation
Provides aesthetically pleasing design elements
When used together, selected products form MLT's Energy Efficient Roof System
further reinforcing our belief that we must strive to perfect not only a roof’s
aesthetic form, but also its primary function. Only then can we provide
our customers with a roofing solution unmatched by any other
roofing company.
It is estimated 75% of homes have deficient attic ventilation, which increases energy costs and diminishes the lifespan of roofing underlayments. These products ensure proper ventilation and help reduce energy costs.

®As the sun slowly heats the tiles during the day, the air beneath the tiles in the sub-tile space is slowly heated. Rising heated air escapes through a vented ridge weather block, such as Figaroll, Zephyr Roll® or MLT RidgeVent.
Elevated battens create a continuous pathway for the heated air to rise and flow up to the ridge while drawing in cool, fresh air through the Vented Eave Risers.
“ ...venting offers a significant 50% reduction in
the heat penetrating the conditioned space as
compared to an asphalt shingle roof in direct
