Reclaimed tile can be matched on Gardena heritage roof coverings, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. This holds across Los Angeles County. Silicone coatings hold up well on Gardena roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. We see it on Gardena roofs every week. Tile is widespread across Gardena, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out. Los Angeles County is no different.
