Tile roofing

It is believed that the first single lap clay roof tiles were formed from baked earth or clay around 2700 BC.
Roof tiles are 'hung' from the framework of a roof by fixing them with nails.

The tiles are usually hung in parallel rows, with each row overlapping the row below it to exclude rainwater and to cover the nails that hold the row below. There are also roof tiles for special positions, particularly where the planes of the several pitches meet. They include ridge, hip and valley tiles.

Clay tile roofing

Clay tiling is a part of the nation's architectural heritage and add to the beauty of the built environment, adding flexibility and choice whatever the style of building - traditional or modern, clay is a high performance roofing product with a traditional appearance that satisfies the diverse demands within the building industry.

New clay roof tiles with an artificially aged appearance can be used to blend in with historic products. Plain tiles are small and rectangular in format and have always been 265mm x 165mm (or in fact 10½ " x 6½ ") in overall size, requiring 60 tiles per square metre.

They perform by overlapping densely up to three tiles deep to achieve a watertight layer. It is this functional requirement that creates their rustic appearance, adding a sense of detail and texture to the roof. This character is enhanced by the effect of cambers longitudinally and across the width.
