Flat Interlocking
Plana
If you’re drawn to clean lines, simplicity, and minimalist design, the Plana flat clay tile is for you. Its bold horizontal pattern and crisp geometry make it a perfect fit for modern architecture. Thanks to its advanced interlocking system, Plana offers superior weather protection and can be installed on both roofs and vertical walls.
Plana is a large format flat interlocking clay tile with a smooth flat surface, sharp square edges and a thick butt (bottom edge) which create straight horizontal shadows across the roof scape. This is especially true when used on low slope roofs.

Plana Flat Interlocking FAQ
What is the Plana flat interlocking tile?
Plana is a sleek, modern flat interlocking clay tile with a minimalist profile and sharp, refined lines. It’s designed for low-pitch roofs and contemporary architecture where clean aesthetics are key.
What makes Plana different from other flat tiles?
Plana offers one of the flattest finishes available in a clay tile, creating crisp horizontal lines with virtually no undulation. Its refined appearance gives it a high-end architectural feel.
Where are Plana tiles manufactured?
Plana is made in Spain by La Escandella, a leading tilemaker known for innovation and quality. The tile is pressed using advanced molds and fired in state-of-the-art kilns to ensure consistency and strength.
What color options are available?
Dreadnought offers a range of natural fired colors including Staffordshire Blue, Brown Heather, and Plum Red. Each tile’s color is a result of the firing process, not added surface treatments — ensuring long-lasting beauty and colorfastness.
Do these tiles require any special installation methods?
While Dreadnought tiles follow traditional installation techniques, it’s important to use skilled installers familiar with plain tile layouts, proper batten spacing, and tight tolerances. We’re happy to offer guidance or connect you with experienced professionals.
How durable are Dreadnought tiles in harsh weather conditions?
Extremely. Dreadnought tiles are frost-resistant, storm-proof, and have been tested to meet or exceed industry standards. Their dense body and low water absorption make them ideal for North American climates.
