Terracotta Tiles

Terracotta roof tiles for period and modern homes

Terracotta tiles have covered Melbourne roofs for more than a century, from Federation and inter-war homes to modern builds. Because many of the original potteries closed decades ago, finding a matching terracotta tile can be the hardest part of a roof repair. We keep a deep range of heritage profiles alongside current terracotta tiles so you can replace broken tiles without re-roofing.

Heritage and older profiles

We stock profiles from Wunderlich (including Wunderlich Limited), Daniel Robertson (Nunawading and Tunstall), Cornwell Potteries, Camberwell Potteries, City Brick Hawthorn, Northcote, Hoffman, Blackburn, Evan Bro, Ballarat Eureka and Australian Tessellated. Large and small Swiss pattern tiles and Nubrik Tombstone profiles are also available.

Current terracotta ranges

New terracotta tiles include Monier Marseille, Monier Nouveau, Boral Modern French, Boral flat terracotta, Wunderlich Modern French and Bristile La Escandella, including the flat La Escandella Planum profile.

Ridge caps and trims

Finish hips, ridges and gables with terracotta ridge caps, shell ends, picket ridges, barge ridges and finials. Use flexible pointing to seal ridge caps and terracotta primers and glaze if you are restoring the whole roof.

Bring a sample tile to our Doveton and Mulgrave yards to compare profiles. Free local delivery applies to orders over $400 within about 20 km of either yard, with a flat $70 fee for smaller orders in the same area. See shipping and delivery for details.
