Traditional Kerala home with Calicut clay roofing tiles

The Heritage of Clay Roofing in Kerala

Discover why Calicut and Commonwealth clay tiles remain the gold standard for Kerala homes.

Natural Cooling for Tropical Living

In Kerala's tropical climate, choice of roofing material is not just about aesthetics—it's about survival. Traditional **Clay Roofing Tiles**, especially the legendary **Calicut** and **Commonwealth** models, have been the cornerstone of Kerala architecture for over 160 years.

The primary advantage of natural clay is its **thermal efficiency**. Unlike metal or concrete, clay tiles allow the house to 'breathe.' Their porous nature facilitates air circulation, significantly reducing the indoor temperature even during the peak of summer.

At **NM Tiles**, we carry forward this legacy. We offer a wide range of authentic clay tiles, including Glass Tiles and Natural Brown finishes, ensuring your home stays cool and looks majestic.
