Presented by Matt Mikel of US Tile at Dahlin Group Architecture/Planning in Pleasanton. This one-hour HSW course gives and in depth study of clay roofing tile and its energy saving/ green benefits.

From its raw beginnings, you will see how clay roofing tiles are generated for use in the market today.
