Terracotta tiles have been used for centuries as roofing materials due to their durability, lightweight, and water-resistant properties. The process of making these tiles involves burning mud using an ancient technique, resulting in tiles that are stronger and more resistant to the elements.

One type of terracotta tile is the country tile, also called as pot tiles, which is hand-made on-site by potter communities using local soil. This traditional method is energy-efficient since there is no transportation required, and it helps support local economies. The laying method involves multiple layers of tiles, which delays heat transfer to the interiors. This is particularly useful in hot climates, where it helps keep the interiors of buildings cool.

Bamboo is commonly used as a support structure for terracotta tiles, as it provides a lightweight and sustainable alternative to traditional materials like wood or metal. Bamboo is a fast-growing and renewable resource widely available in many parts of the world. Its use in construction helps reduce the environmental impact of buildings while providing a sturdy support structure for the tiles.

When combined with bamboo, terracotta tiles create a durable and eco-friendly roofing system that can withstand the test of time. The tiles' longevity and low maintenance requirements make them a popular choice for homeowners and businesses alike. We can use reclaimed tiles that are cost-effective and more sustainable towards nature. Furthermore, the use of local resources and traditional craftsmanship in the production process supports sustainable development and preserves cultural heritage.
