Copper blend earns Eagle Roofing Color of the Year designation

With 35-plus years in concrete roof tile production, California-based Eagle Roofing Products is known for an extensive line of durable, elegant and eye-catching offerings, among them Bridgeport Blend Copper, the producer’s Color of the Year. An amalgamation of grays, taupe, brown and black hues accented by subtle orange-luster streaks, Bridgeport Blend Copper mirrors Sequoia trees’ deep sepia tones and ash shadows lining mountain ranges.

Bridgeport Blend is a series companion to Rancho Cordova Branch Copper.

The sophisticated, chic colorway is available in Eagle Roofing’s flat Bel Air profile for a modern roofline. A cozy look and feel makes the tile a timely choice as design trends abandon cool, gray palettes for a moodier approach with infusions of color, notes Director of Marketing Lissette Pamplona. “Bridgeport Blend Copper is a gorgeous mixture of neutral shades infused with subtle copper-toned streaks that radiate warmth and sophistication. We chose it as our 2024 Color of the Year because it is timeless, grounding and inviting,” she adds. “Its nature-inspired hues give builders, architects and homeowners alike the versatility to create a custom space as it pairs beautifully with both warm and cool shades, as well as with wood tones, brick and stone accents and mixed metals like brass, copper and iron.”

“Bridgeport Blend Copper’s strength lies in its flexibility to bridge contemporary and classic designs, while effortlessly harmonizing with a wide range of palettes and decor,” she concludes. “It’s an all-season, neutral blend that rejuvenates rather than overwhelms and will never go out of style.”

After a debut in the West, Bridgeport Blend Copper Bel Air tiles are set for availability in the East by mid-year. Customers will have the opportunity to opt for the timeless roofscape when choosing the ideal tile for their upcoming commercial or residential projects. Regardless of architectural style, Bridgeport Blend Copper stands to complement soothing blues and transitional greens with ease, while simultaneously adding an earthy balance to charcoals and dark tints for those who prefer either a rustic façade or more modern exterior.

TILE, TRIM ORDER RESERVATION SYSTEM PROVES ‘TIME IS MONEY’
After a late-2023 soft launch of an app proven to save truck drivers upward of 15 minutes in concrete tile and component order loading cycles, Eagle Roofing Products is expanding its Time Is Money online reservation system to all production plants and satellite yards, Florida to California. Full and partial orders are booked in advance through the digital platform, then built and staged in a central location prior to driver’s arrival target.

“This platform was inspired by the need to better utilize time between the extreme peaks and valleys we experience daily in our yards. By utilizing T-I-M to provide our Customer Service and Yard Teams with advance notice of shipments, we are afforded the opportunity to pre-stage trim, components and concrete accessories up to 48 hours before pick-up,” says Eagle Roofing Vice President of Sales and Marketing John Campbell. “We are committed to providing value-added solutions that save builders, roofing contractors and distributors time and money because Time Is Money.”

Roof tile and component pick-up slots can be reserved up to seven days in advance. The scheduling system is not designed to allow customers to skip the line. By showcasing time slots a week out, however, Eagle Roofing furthers its pursuit of transparency with every reservation.
