All tiles comply with C E Marking to British and European Standard BS EN 1304, which legislates for externally tested and verified quality of roof tiles. The tiles are independently tested to the following standards by Lucideon (approved by UKAS and the British Standards Institute):
Determination of Impermeability : BSEN 539-1:2005 Method 2 & BSEN 1304:2005
Determination of Flexural Strength : BSEN 538:1994
Determination of Frost Resistance : BSEN 539-2:2013
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.
The Reclamation Mix hand made clay tiles has the texture and shade variation of reclaimed tiles, but with all the advantages of a new tile made to stringent European Standards for quality. Sourcing large batches of reclaimed tiles and matching fittings can be a problem – not with the Reclamation Mix which generally in stock in our yard.
Packed in crates that are pre-blended meaning the roofing contractor does not need to blend individual colours as they are laid.
The Woburn Reclamation Mix handmade clay tiles have eliminated the need to resort to this. These tiles have all the texture and shade variation of reclaimed tiles but with all the advantages of a new tile produced to today’s stringent European quality standards. In addition, they are delivered packed in crates that are pre-blended meaning the roofing contractor does not need to blend individual colours as they are laid.
