Some homes look cool (figuratively and literally) because of its choice of roofing. For example, the curved roof tiles made of clay or cement. These are actually an evolution of the Teja de Curva roof tiles that were made from clay and were carefully laid on the roof of the Bahay na Bato during the Spanish Colonial times.
Now, commonly called the pressed curved roof tile, the Teja de curva is used in modern times as a decorative roof tile for small areas. The pronounced curve or curva of the tile makes it unique as it allows the overlapping of tile parts.
Aside from their use in roofings, these curva tiles are now used in facades and other building accents.
