CLAY ROOF TILES: Dreadnought manufactures the finest naturally
coloured clay roof tiles using the same techniques and processes that
have defined the company over its 200 year history. Coupled with
this now unique facility to generate traditional natural clay colours,
Dreadnought also manufactures bespoke ornamental ridges and finials
as well as handmade fittings. Dreadnought generates colours through
the careful control of the kiln atmosphere without the use of surface
stains or coloured sands. This traditional technique delivers vibrant
clay colours that look natural on the roof and blend particularly well;
sometimes colour blends are the solution to match discontinued tiles
produced in coal fired kilns. See also: Ketley Brick Co Ltd profile entry in
