Ceramic tiles and roof covers have been used in construction of architectonic
structures from the earliest times. Their relatively simple production, as
well as acceptable cost, contributed to the mass usage of these products. The
paper presents a review of ceramic tiles and roof tiles, by laying out their
development, shapes, physical properties and usage through history in various
climates and time periods. The aim of the paper is understanding the
importance of use and development of these products in architecture.
Keywords: ceramic materials, ceramic tiles, ceramic roof tiles, ceramo-plastics
