Determination of Impermeability : BSEN 539-1:2005 Method 2 & BSEN 1304:2005

You can use handmade clay plain tiles if the pitch of your roof is between 40˚ and 90˚ and they are fixed in accordance with the British Standard Code of Practice for Slating & Tiling BS 5534: 2014. However, if your roof pitch is lower than 40˚, please contact us with details of your requirements  and it is very possible we can offer a solution to guarantee the use of handmade plain tiles down to pitch as low as 17.5˚.

Our handmade clay plain tiles are used extensively across the UK on refurbishments and new builds alike. Our tiles are widely accepted in Conservation Areas and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and are regularly used on Churches, Historic and Listed Buildings, etc.

Summary

The Lavenham is a standout addition to the Woburn Range at Lifestiles. It has a distinctive character and timeless appeal. Similar to the Medium variant, but with an added touch of sophistication.

What sets The Lavenham apart is its unique blend of darker, harder-fired tiles, strategically incorporated into the crates to create an extra-aged patina. This intentional blending adds depth and richness to the overall aesthetic, infusing each tile with a sense of history and character that enhances the charm of any structure it graces.

Ideal for both traditional and contemporary architectural styles, The Lavenham offers a seamless blend of old-world charm and modern elegance. Its rich, varied hues and textured surface create a dynamic visual impact, while its superior quality ensures lasting beauty and performance in any environment.

All our handmade roof tiles are produced in a custom-built facility in Poland. The tiles are tested in our on-site laboratory throughout their production ensuring they meet the rigorous British and new European standards under the EU guidelines. The product is CE marked and has Declaration of Performance Certification (a requirement of all the leading roofing and building merchants), and a factory guarantee for 30 years.
