Any type of structure will benefit from Artisan’s impressive esthetics and the inherent benefits of an energy-efficient concrete tile RIALTO, Calif., June 28 2011 – Eagle Roofing Products is providing homeowners, roofing contractors, builders and architects yet another premium roofing option with the introduction of its new Artisan Series concrete roofing tile. Inspired by an authentic hand-made looking tile, the Artisan Series is available in an array of striking color combinations. “Our new Artisan product is unlike anything else on the market today,” said Kevin Burlingame, president of Eagle Roofing Products. “The concrete tiles are created in a single base color and treated with a unique process that creates random streaks in beautiful accent colors so that no two tiles look the same. The result is a rustic, natural aesthetic in a durable, easy-to-install concrete tile that will dramatically enhance any structure with striking beauty.” The Artisan Series is currently available in a variety of popular styles, such as Capistrano,Malibu and Bel Air.* Launched late last year in the Southwest and Midwest markets, Artisan is quickly becoming a favorite tile choice among trade and consumer customers. The Artisan Series is now available in Florida, Northeast and Southeast and is being introduced in Southern California this summer.
