The quality of tiles and accessories produced at Phalempin is unquestionable; The factory is certified to ISO 9001 and 14001 and all products achieve the highest frost resistance rating; 150 freeze/thaw cycles, when tested under European Standard EN 539-2: Test for frost resistance; a prerequisite for clay tiles produced for use in the UK. All Phalempin clay tiles fully comply with the requirements of BS EN 1304: the European Standard for clay roof tiles and can be expected to last more than 100 years.
The Phalempin Plain tile range is one of the few double-lapped plain tiles on the UK market that can be used on roof pitches as low as 30 degrees. Although the British Standard for Slating and Tiling; BS 5534, recommends a minimum roof pitch of 35 degrees for double-lapped plain tiles, the method of manufacture enables unique anti-capillary channels to be incorporated onto the Phalempin tiles’ upper surface, ensuring enhanced performance. Wind-driven rain testing carried out independently by BRE has enabled certification of the tiles for use at 30 degrees.
