Clay Tile Roofing

Clay tiles have been used as a durable and reliable roofing material for thousands of years, with their origins tracing back to ancient civilizations such as the Mesopotamians and the Romans. These tiles were highly prized for their exceptional durability, natural fire resistance, and their remarkable ability to provide excellent protection against harsh weather conditions and the elements. Traditional clay tiles were carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans and kiln-fired at high temperatures, resulting in a robust and weatherproof product that has truly stood the test of time. Over the centuries, the techniques for producing and installing clay tiles have evolved significantly, with notable variations in shape, size, and colour that beautifully reflect diverse regional styles and architectural trends across different cultures. In the UK, clay tiles have been a consistently popular choice for roofing since the medieval period, greatly contributing to the distinctive character and remarkable longevity of many historic buildings. Even today, clay tiles continue to be highly valued for their timeless aesthetic appeal, environmental sustainability, and practical benefits in a wide range of both traditional and modern roofing projects.
