Clay tiles have been used in Canada since the early 1900s as a popular roofing material due to their durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions. Clay tiles were initially imported from Europe, but by the 1920s, US and Canadian manufacturers began producing their own clay tiles. The use of clay tiles continued to increase in popularity throughout the 20th century, with many historic buildings and homes still featuring clay tile roofs today. In recent years, there has been a resurgence in the use of clay tiles for both residential and commercial buildings due to their eco-friendliness, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. Overall, clay tiles have played an important role in Canadian architecture and continue to be a popular roofing choice for many.
