Villa 900 Concrete Roof Tile Review: Florida Colors, Adhesive vs. Screws

Westlake's Florida selector showed 12 color choices when checked September 9, 2026. Five carried premium labels: Arbor Green, Mission Sunset - Color Coat, Pinto Blend - Color Coat, South Beach Blend - Color Coat and White - Color Coat. Confirm the exact SKU, manufacturing plant, inventory and lead time before ordering.

Villa 900 is an interlocking concrete roof tile with two rounded rolls and a lower curved profile. Westlake presents it as a Mediterranean-style option. The Lake Wales NOA describes a low-profile tile with three nail holes for listed direct-deck, batten, mortar or adhesive-set applications.

Villa 900 has a lower double-roll silhouette. Barcelona 900 has a taller, more pronounced barrel, while Saxony 900 Slate creates flatter, straighter courses. The best appearance depends on the homeowner's taste, the home's architecture and the selected physical color sample. Attachment values cannot be transferred between profiles.

Yes. Miami-Dade County, Florida NOA 26-0602.02, expiring September 21, 2031, lists APOC Polyset AH-160 HFC and HFO1 configurations and RTA-1 HFO configurations. Use the exact tile and adhesive approvals, compatible underlayment, required placement and contact, and project-specific design. The NOA also requires TAS 106 field-uplift testing for adhesive-set tile.

It depends on the listed configuration. Two #8 screws in the direct-deck rows have an attachment-resistance moment of 47.1 ft-lbf. Single-patty AH-160 HFC/HFO1 is listed at 46 ft-lbf for 24 grams and 87 ft-lbf for 54 grams; two 8-gram patties are listed at 26 ft-lbf. These are moment values, not pull-off pounds, wind speeds or universal rankings of all foam and screw systems.

Only as an approved, designed hybrid—not by adding separate capacities together. Table 8 lists two #8 screws with APOC Polyset RTA-1 HFO, using 11 grams at the headlap, at 63 ft-lbf. That is a specific RTA-1 configuration; it does not authorize substituting AH-160 into the same hybrid detail.

No. An approved adhesive-set field can reduce tile-fastener penetrations compared with mechanically fastening each field tile, but eaves, hips, ridges, flashings, underlayment and other components still have their own fastening requirements. Adhesive is not a replacement for a waterproof underlayment system.

The supplied NOA 26-0602.02 covers Villa 900 manufactured in Lake Wales, Florida, for wood-deck applications. It was approved September 3, 2026 and expires September 21, 2031, and renews 24-1008.10. It calls for moment-based RAS 127 calculations and installation under the applicable RAS 118, 119 and 120 requirements. Check current approval status for each permit.

No roof is hurricane-proof. Wind performance depends on the complete roof assembly and site-specific design, including perimeter and corner zones. Westlake markets Class A fire performance, but the tile NOA explicitly excludes fire classification, so the complete assembly's fire documents must be checked separately.

Use the official manufacturer images to narrow the options, then approve a current physical sample for the exact Florida SKU and plant. Screen color, jobsite lighting and production lots can vary. The colors in M&M's jobsite photos have not been assigned catalog names.

An accurate estimate needs the measured roof area, tear-off scope, deck condition, underlayment, selected color, attachment design, flashing, access and waste allowances. Compare complete roofing scopes rather than a tile-only price. A premium color or more demanding attachment layout can change the quote.
