100% rust-proof recycled polymer composite. Immune to Guanacaste ocean salt spray.
Only 5 kg/m² vs 45 kg/m² for clay. Dramatically lowers timber framing costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Recycled Spanish Roofing
Hecho en Costa Rica • Building Codes • Direct Ordering in Guanacaste
Why are all GCPC Spanish style roofs built with 100% recycled polymer tiles?
Our certified 100% recycled polymer Spanish roof tiles are precision-molded in Costa Rica to eliminate the fatal flaws of traditional clay (crushing 50 kg/m² structural weight, moss absorption, and earthquake breakage) and galvanized metal (rapid Pacific salt rust, deafening noise), while diverting tons of Costa Rican plastic waste from landfills and oceans.
Are these approved by local HOA boards (e.g. Hacienda Pinilla, Las Catalinas)?
Yes. Because these tiles feature authentic Spanish barrel tile geometry with matching Terracota Colonial, Añejado Rústico, and Gris Grafito colors, they fulfill HOA architectural covenants requiring classic Mediterranean and Spanish colonial roofing profiles without the crippling weight of clay.
