How we approach it
Mexican clay tile dominates the US southern market — Florida, Texas, Arizona, California. Short truck/rail lead times and consistent terracotta tones make it the default for production homebuilders.
Spanish tile (Tejas Borja, La Escandella) is premium for Mediterranean and Mission-style architecture where the deeper flashed color and hand-finished profile matter. Colombian factories occupy a price position between the two.
