Tudor Roof Tiles Adds Style with Vertical Hanging Tiles
The Tudor Roof Tiles range of hand-made vertical hanging and decorative wall tiles is proving to be a stylish and practical and way of adding value, character and individuality to both new build as well as the refurbishment of older styled properties.
First appearing in the south of England in the late seventeenth century, the tradition of hanging roofing tiles vertically, particularly on the first floor and upper storeys of buildings, is becoming a popular and creative way of enhancing today’s homes with a touch of ‘olde world’ charm.
With their time weathered appearance and subtle variations in shape and colour, Tudor’s ‘traditional’ nibbed plain roof tiles and conservation peg tiles which are ideal for heritage properties, can be hung vertically and combined with a choice of decorative and ornamental tiles, to create a stunning feature.
Creative use of hanging tiles is also an excellent way to add quality and distinction to properties using ordinary and unprepossessing machine made clay or concrete tiles on the roof.
Made from the finest English natural clay, the distinctive double camber not only adds character, but when used over brickwork can also help cover some irregularities of walls, minimise rain penetration and increase thermal insulation.
Combining age old craftsmanship with modern performance benefits, Tudor tiles are carefully hand pressed, moulded and trimmed, and then strengthened by advanced firing techniques, to give the final products exceptional durability.
All Tudor roof tiles are made in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001:2000, and tested to BS EN 538:1994 for strength and to BS EN 539-2:1998 for frost resistance.
“The vertical hanging tradition offers numerous possibilities to builders and home owners looking for interesting ways to add value and aesthetic appeal to their properties,” said Paul Lythgoe, Managing Director of Tudor Roof Tile Co Ltd. “The design, performance and versatility of Tudor’s range of roof and hanging tiles makes them a popular choice across a wide range of architectural styles and projects.”
Both the traditional and conservation range of hanging and roofing tiles are available in five mellow tones: Medium Antique, Dark Antique and Red Antique plus the classic Sussex colours of red and brown.
Tudor roof tiles are available from leading roofing and builders merchants.
