The basic shape of the Hohlpfanne (pantile) goes back to the ancient Romans. They were well aware of the value and beauty of fired clay. They used pantiles to protect their houses. Heavily curved and without interlocking joints, to this day it remains a simple method to give your house a matchless character and, at the same time, defy all environmental influences.
For historical buildings ...
Its wide distribution over the centuries makes the pantile the first choice today for restoring, renovating or modernising historical buildings. It adapts to the conditions of the roof surface like no other tile and fits coherently into a homogenous overall appearance.
... and modern build styles
This historical classic also goes extremely well with modern building styles thanks to the striking wave appearance of the roof.
The pronounced interaction of light and shadow is particularly beautiful in the deep curve of the tile and always puts your house in the right light in combination with four unobtrusive natural shades.
