DS 5

The DS5 is the biggest clay roof tile currently available. 
With its huge size it is especially appealing for projects with bigger roof surfaces, since it is very economical. But it has also proven itself in smaller projects. It is most suitable for re-roofs, if there is a legal restriction for materials that weigh more than 7 lbs/sqft (PSF). 
With 7 standard colors available, there is one for everyone to choose. The DS5 is a real clay tile, that has the weight characteristics of a "light weight tile". The DS5 has got non of the disadvantages of a "light-weight tile", like being brittle, easy breaking, hard to install and so on. 
The DS5's huge size allows for the 6.7 lbs per sqft. (to be under the 7 lbs./sqft. restriction). The design team created a tile with outstanding features like interlocking, a "double-V" lip around the tile that makes water or snow penetration virtually impossible. 
Like all other tiles from Team Fritz Clay Roof Tiles they have met and exceeded rigorous freeze-thaw testing (>150 cycles) as well as breakage testing in excess of 1.6 KN. 
All these tests well exceed the ASTM Standards.

This tile comes with a free transferable 30 year limited manufacturers replacement warranty. (please see the warranty information in our technical section for more)
