Tudor Roof Tile Co Ltd, the UK’s foremost independent
handmade roof tile manufacturer, is launching the ‘Jubilee’,
the first of a new generation of clay peg and plain tiles
featuring a distinctive blending of face colouring. |
 |
| The
Jubilee tile has a rich earthy face colour with a random
darker staining, which is hand applied and kiln burnt to
recreate a distinctive ‘instant aged’ and time-weathered
appearance of a mature and seasoned roof. |
|
Additional bespoke colour blends
from Tudor’s range of natural clay colours are also
available to order. |
|
Launched to mark the company’s
25th anniversary of manufacturing in Kent, the Jubilee tile
offers the aesthetic appeal of traditional craftsmanship
combined with the modern technology and performance benefits
of a new energy efficient kiln. |
|
With its variable tones, texture
and camber, this attractive twice sand faced plain tile
emulates the historic handmade tiles of yesteryear, making
it a natural choice across a wide spectrum of new build,
restoration and heritage projects. |
|
“The Jubilee tile builds on the
popularity of our existing ‘Traditional’ and “Conservation”
ranges, and has been developed in response to customer
demand for a new versatile and multi-purpose line of “made
in the UK” plain clay tiles, which offer a greater blend of
natural face colourings and shades,” said Paul Lythgoe,
Managing Director of Tudor Roof Tile Co Ltd. |
|
“The Jubilee is the first of a
new generation of tiles, which will give architects,
specifiers and home owners even greater choice and
flexibility to add character, distinction and ‘olde world’
charm to new build and heritage buildings alike.” |
|
A reliable, cost effective and
practical alternative to second hand reclaimed tiles, the
Jubilee tile is available with standard nibs or
alternatively with square (or round) peg holes for use on
traditional conservation projects. |
|
The Jubilee is offered in
addition to the existing Antique range of colours: Medium
Antique, Dark Antique and Red Antique plus the classic
Sussex colours of red and brown. |
