The charm of Kozhikode, formerly known as Calicut, lies in its perfect blend of coastal heritage, traditional architecture, and modern development. With its humid climate, salty air, and heavy monsoon rains, roofing plays a vital role in preserving both the structural integrity and beauty of homes. One of the most iconic styles here is the Calicut tile roof, a design that has stood the test of time and remains a preferred choice for builders and homeowners alike.
Tapco Tiles, a name trusted across Kerala, offers premium roofing solutions designed specifically for regions like Calicut. Whether you're constructing a heritage-style house or a modern villa near the Malabar coast, Tapco’s roof tiles ensure long-term durability, thermal comfort, and timeless elegance.
The Legacy of Calicut Tile Roofs
Traditional Calicut homes are known for their sloped roofs covered in clay tiles. These roofs are more than just aesthetic—they are engineered for Kerala’s unique weather. The slope ensures rainwater quickly drains off, preventing waterlogging, while the tiles provide insulation from the tropical heat. Over the decades, homeowners have relied on these tile roofs to protect their homes and maintain the architectural identity of the region.
Tapco carries this legacy forward with modern ceramic and terracotta roofing tiles that mirror the visual appeal of traditional Calicut tile roofs while offering superior performance and lifespan.
