Q. What size are Mangalore tiles?

Answer

The size of Mangalore tiles is 10x16 inches. Clay tiles are available in a wide range of sizes, colors, and forms, testifying to the diversity of local soils and the expertise of tilemakers. Various installation techniques informed the variety of forms that resulted. There are many different kinds of tiles, such as flat tiles, curved and handcrafted pot tiles, pan tiles (which are similar to pot tiles but are created in a different way and are commonly used in rural areas), S-shaped tiles from Allahabad, and so on. Because heat triggers chemical reactions that affect color, the firing process may bring out a wide range of hues in the tiles.
