Ludowici Roof Tile has opened the Factory of Ideas™, the world’s first hands-on facility for visualizing and designing roofs. Built originally in 1903 as a railroad car loading platform, the building was renovated in 2007 as a workshop for architects, designers, and decision makers.

"The Factory of Ideas is a valuable tool. You are able to see what the product looks like in an
array of circumstances. You can see the tile in sunlight, from one angle to another. It is truly a
hands-on experience and you get to see all the selections Ludowici offers. When it comes to
picking tile you can't shop on-line for it, you need to be face to face with it. You can put
different tiles together and see if it works or if it doesn't."
-Bill Harrison, Bill Harrison Design, Atlanta, GA
"Going to the Factory of Ideas is a unique experience because it allows architects and
homeowners to see, touch and feel all the different Ludowici tile options. All of the tile options
and colors are there, beautifully
displayed with great natural light. I think it has to be inspirational for architects and clients alike
to see all of the possibilities for tile roofs."
-Michael Robinson, Architect, Samsel Architects
"It's clear after going through the Factory of Ideas that Ludowici is not willing to sacrifice for
automation and that they take great pride and care with their products. Because of the
customization it's a 'must' to go to the Factory of Ideas. Each product is different from the
next. To know it is to see it and it's worthwhile."
-Todd Hetz, Todd Hetz Roofing, Cincinnati, OH
The Factory of Ideas showroom was fantastic, I was very impressed, it showed us everything
that Ludowici carries and all the different varieties. We went there because my wife and I are
in the process of building our house. It really helped us make our choice.
