Tile Roofs

Plain Tiles

Clay Plain Tiles have been used effectively as a roof covering since Roman times.

The Rosemary name is synonymous with clay plain tiles, adding distinction and character to pitched roofs for over 175 years. Today, a range of single and cross-camber tiles combine the quality of hand-crafted clay with the reliability of modern machine-made techniques. Produced from the finest clays, Rosemary is offered in a range of weathered, brindled and single colours that create striking and attractive roofs.

Plain tiles are small and rectangular in format and have always been 265mm x 165mm (or in fact 10 1/2” x 6 1/2”) 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.

Interlocking tiles

Roof tiles manufactured from concrete date back to the late nineteenth century and became popular in the UK during the 1920’s when demand for economical roof coverings outweighed the production capacity for clay tiles.

Concrete tile technology has developed tiles capable of being laid to roof pitches as low as 12 degrees. Produced in a variety of colours and finishes, some replicate the appearance of slate and other traditional roof coverings.

Interlocking concrete tiles are one of the most economical forms of roof tiling. Available in a choice of 7 colours and 2 textures, concrete tiles are suitable for roof pitches down to 17.5°.

Today, modern technology has developed products which provide better durability and performance combined with an ever increasing variety of colours and textures, though still maintaining a traditional appearance.

DuoPlain tiles combine the classic proportions and good looks of traditional plain tiles with all the time and cost-saving benefits of a modern, large-format interlocking tile.

Technical know-how ensures that all of the DuoPlain tiles, fittings and components can stand up to extreme weather conditions. After rigorous performance testing in the manufactures unique, state of-the-art wind tunnel, they then subjected the tiles to conditions replicating the UV rays of the blazing sun and the sub-zero temperatures of the Arctic

Slate Roofs

Natural slate

Natural slate roofing in Sheffield & surrounding areas is the first choice for many architects and builders because it always looks good and its installation, maintenance and life cycle costs make it an extremely cost-effective roofing material. Its versatility is highly prized as it provides an outstanding finish on any shape, pitch and space. In addition the different shapes that slates can be produced in, for customers around the world, allow for a virtually unlimited array of visual effects that would be impossible to obtain with other materials.

Artificial slate

Etex’s Thrutone slates are low-profile man-made fibre cement slates that feature a smooth surface and square cut edges for a sleek, aesthetically pleasing finish. The low-profile slates are a favourite for complex, designer and architecturally inspired roofs and on building facades.

Etex Thrutone fibre cement slates can be fixed with 30mm x 2.65mm copper clout nails and 19mm diameter by 2mm stem copper disc rivets.

Fiberglass Roofing Installation

GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Polyester. GRP is also knows as Glass-Fibre or fibreglass. This system is cold-applied on site, giving it a seamless and flexible weatherproof finish that resists water, heat and frost. The resulting surface gives a strong architectural finish that looks very impressive in any colour. If maintained properly it will last as long as the building stands.

GRP technology has been developed further to produce the perfect all weather protection for any flat roof. ‘CURE IT’ GRP can be applied in small domestic situations right through to larger industrial environments
