CLAY ROOF TILES
: Handmade Kent Pegs and Sussex Nibs developed using
traditional moulds to ensure a distinctive rustic look. The tiles are dried
naturally before being fired in a kiln using renewable energy sources.
Traditional firing techniques ensure that the tiles meet EN/British
Standards in respect of frost, strength and impermeability. Tiles also
retain an aged finish necessary for blending in with existing materials, as
often required in conservation areas.
