During the late 1800s and early 1900s, deep crimson smooth-faced machine-made plain clay roof tiles gained significant popularity for prominent civic structures and churches. Nowadays, the majority of red plain clay roof tiles have a pinkish hue compared to those manufactured a century ago. However, this traditional single camber clay tile with a Plum Red colour and Smooth-faced finish perfectly mimics the shade and texture of the classic tiles from the past.
Dreadnought Tiles, a renowned British manufacturer established in Staffordshire have honed their craftsmanship for over two centuries, utilising locally sourced Etruria Marl Clay to create stunning clay roof tiles. Designed with a traditional single camber, this Premium Clay Roof Tile from Dreadnought boasts unparalleled strength and endurance.
The same clay is also used in the production of Staffordshire Blue Class A Engineering Bricks, exemplifying its durability. With a wide array of colours and finishes, ranging from captivating blues and brindles to warm browns and radiant reds, no artificial stains or coloured sands are used for a completely organic construction. The kiln atmosphere is carefully controlled, resulting in natural hues that permeate each tile with subtle variations. This inherent quality adds a distinct charm, elevating the aesthetics of any roof.
With a coverage of 60 tiles/m² at a 100mm gauge or 53 tiles/m² at a 115mm gauge, these tiles offer ample protection for your roof. The minimum lap requirement stands at 65mm for pitched installations and 32mm for vertical applications, while the maximum gauge measures 100mm for pitches roofs and 115mm for vertical installation. At their thickest gauge, the tiles weigh approximately 71kg/m² for pitched roofs and 63kg/m² for vertical applications. For secure and reliable fixings, utilise 38mm x 2.65mm aluminium nails. For structural support, use 38mm x 25mm battens.
