DS 8

The DS8 is the smaller brother of the DS5. Still a big tile, it is also appealing for projects with bigger roof surfaces, since it is very economical. But it has also proven itself in smaller projects. Its slightly smaller size is intended for homeowners that like the look of a more broken-up surface appearance.
It is especially suitable for re-roofs, if there is a legal restriction for materials that should not weigh more than 7 lbs/sqft. With 5 standard colors available, there is one for everyone to choose.
The DS8 is a real clay tile, that has the weight characteristics of a "light weight tile" but without the common known disadvantages like being brittle, easy breaking, hard to install etc.
The DS8's bigger size allows for the weight of only 6.6 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)
