HANDMADE CLAY TILES

in the heart of the Sussex countryside. Aldershaw’s roofs have a patina
normally only associated with a bygone age. The company specialises in
restoration and conservation, producing mathematical tiles, nib tiles,
peg tiles and all fittings. Bespoke products are a speciality. Special sizes
and shapes are no problem. Sussex Terracotta floor tiles are made in a
vast range of colours, shapes and sizes. The tiles are made to look mature
from the day they are laid. The company also manufactures terracotta
ware and handmade glazed wall tiles.

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.
