Chinese Grey Clay Roof Tiles in Vietnam

Traditional Chinese roof tiles have been used for centuries in temples, gardens, and historical buildings. However, their architectural value is not limited to heritage projects. Today, Chinese clay roof tiles are also being selected for modern hospitality developments, landscape projects, and culturally inspired architecture around the world.

For international architects and developers, traditional roofing materials provide a unique way to combine oriental aesthetics with modern architectural requirements.

Two coastal resort projects in Vietnam demonstrate how Chinese grey roof tiles and traditional roof accessories can be adapted for large-scale hospitality developments.

Located on Phu Quoc Island, JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa is a luxury hospitality project that incorporates distinctive architectural concepts and detailed design elements.

For this project, Dannuo Gardens supplied traditional roof tiles in cooperation with Sun Group, providing roofing materials that matched the resort’s architectural vision.

The project required roofing materials with an authentic traditional appearance while maintaining consistency across a large hospitality environment.

The supplied materials helped create a unique oriental architectural atmosphere, demonstrating how traditional Chinese-style roofing elements can be integrated into contemporary resort design.

Through careful production management and communication with the project team, the roof tiles were prepared according to the project requirements and delivered for installation.

The second project was a resort located near My Khe Beach in Da Nang, one of Vietnam’s most recognized coastal destinations.

For this development, Dannuo Gardens supplied the complete roof tile system, including:

• Chinese grey clay roof tiles
• Custom eaves tiles (勾头)
• Drip eaves tiles (滴水)
• Matching roof accessories

The project team selected grey clay roof tiles because of their natural texture and traditional appearance, which complemented the coastal landscape and resort environment.

To achieve a clean and contemporary oriental style, the custom eaves tiles and drip tiles were produced without decorative patterns. This simple design approach allowed the roof details to blend naturally with the overall seaside architecture.

International architectural projects often require more than standard roofing products. Different buildings may have unique requirements regarding:

• Tile profiles
• Colors
• Decorative details
• Roof structure
• Installation methods

For the Vietnam resort projects, Dannuo Gardens provided customized solutions based on the project design requirements.

Our experience with traditional roofing systems allows us to support architects, contractors, and developers with:

• Product selection
• Tile quantity calculation
• Custom accessory production
• Project-based manufacturing

This approach helps ensure that traditional Chinese roofing elements can be accurately integrated into modern architectural projects.

For overseas construction projects, product consistency and safe transportation are essential.

During the Vietnam projects supply process, roof tiles were carefully inspected before shipment. Packaging methods were also improved according to customer requirements to reduce transportation risks during international delivery.

The projects involved multiple production batches and overseas shipments. Through production coordination and quality management, materials were delivered according to the planned schedule.

The Vietnam projects show how traditional Chinese roofing materials continue to evolve beyond historical applications.

Today, Chinese clay roof tiles, grey roof tiles, glazed roof tiles, and decorative roof accessories are used in:

• Luxury resorts
• Chinese-style villas
• Garden pavilions
• Cultural buildings
• Temple restoration projects
• Landscape architecture

By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern project support, Dannuo Gardens continues to provide authentic Chinese roofing solutions for architects, developers, and contractors worldwide
