At Eagle, we pride ourselves on having the only Architectural Account Representative Team in the premium roofing industry in the U.S. Our experienced staff consisting of Aaron Crabtree, Michele Morse and David Vallas are available to assist architects with any resources they might need to specify our concrete roof tiles. They also frequently collaborate on in-person and virtual Lunch ‘n Learns for architects to gain Continuing Education credits.
We asked our Southwest and East Coast architectural reps, Aaron and David, for their behind-the-scenes insight into our industry.
What resources does Eagle offer to specifiers? What makes concrete roof tile the ideal choice for specifiers in your region?
Aaron:
“Resourses that Eagle offers to specifiers include mock-ups, samples, technical support, AIA/GBCI accredited courses for Lunch N’ Learns and much more! At Eagle, we are willing to work with you and go the extra mile to help in any way we can to efficiently get your projects where they need to be.
Choosing concrete tile means choosing a lifetime roof product that only gets stronger with age. It’s the only material in steep slope roofing that can make that claim. In the Southwest, concrete roof tile is the ideal choice for specifiers not only because of its strength but also because of its energy efficient attributes. Concrete roof tile offers reflectivity and thermal mass that results in an R2 value and can contribute to LEED credits.
In addition, concrete tile uses 100% natural raw materials and has a near net zero waste process that helps us focus on sustainability through our recycling and re-use activities in our plants. If you are looking for a product that is versatile and durable, concrete tile is the choice for you. Make the right choice for your next steep slope project and specify some Eagle tile!”
On the East Coast, what are our most popular concrete roof tile colors? What colors do you anticipate will be top sellers in 2025, and why?
David:
“The last decade has seen design trends shift throughout the East Coast to a darker, sleeker, more modern look with the main character being a deep grey or charcoal tile. Although that design is still being strongly utilized, the East Coast is currently witnessing a shift in tile roofing color and design trends with homeowners increasingly opting for styles that blend aesthetics with functionality. Earth tones continue to dominate the market, with weathered wood and grey stone hues gaining popularity for their ability to complement a wide range of architectural styles and reflect a strong connection to nature.
Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, the most popular earth tone colors for tile roofing on the East Coast provide a warm and inviting aesthetic. Among these, deep browns are particularly favored for their richness and ability to evoke warmth, making them a staple choice for traditional homes. Shades like brown-gray and brown-tan are also gaining traction, as they blend seamlessly with other natural materials such as brick and stone. Additionally, earthy greens, including moss and olive tones, are becoming increasingly popular, offering a harmonious look that integrates well with the surrounding landscape. Overall, the emphasis on earth tones in tile roofing is set to continue as homeowners prioritize aesthetics that resonate with the natural environment.”
