Roofing Facts:
A Thatchers
Trademark
In early England, roofing was primarily done by groups of
families known as Thatcher's. They used to thatch their trademarks or
today known as emblems into the roofs of their clients homes in
the shape of different birds and in different positions. Even today, you could
walk down the street and see the emblems of the Thatcher's who had
completed the roofing job on preserved homes.
Early America
In early America, most roofs were tiled with clay tiles,
they believed that it prevented scorching and burning of buildings should they
catch on fire. And that good roofing was fundamental to protecting the rest of
the architectural structure.
In the Southwest, tile roofs for the Spanish Missionaries were manufactured right here in San Antonio De Pauda, California. The flat molding of these tiles were formed by molding clay over sections of logs.
By the mid-19th century tile roofs were largely replaced by sheet metal roofs because they were lighter and easier to maintain.
