Each tile has its own characteristics
The Plain Tiles are made using the same alluvial clay as our Pantiles; each tile has its own characteristics due to the way the tile is handled by the maker.
The Plain Tiles are fired amongst the Pantiles in our traditional coal fired kilns, which helps achieve an array of different shades. In addition to the Plain Tile, we also produce a traditional Medieval Tile, slightly larger in size and offering a more rustic look; with all our tiles, we have a comprehensive range of standard fittings. Please see our fittings page.

*Handmade clay tiles are subject to small variations in size because of the drying and firing shrinkage within the manufacturing process. Before deciding on the batten gauge and linear coverage, the roof tiler should inspect each batch of tiles to ensure that the correct minimum head lap and side lap are achieved. Unless otherwise stated, specification and fixing guide is based on the tiles laid at minimum head lap. Tiles should be drawn from three or more packs concurrently to ensure consistency of blend.
