The real character in a handmade plain tile comes from the way the tile is handled by the maker. Each of our craftsmen does things slightly differently in a way that makes the tiles unique, and which in turn makes every roof unique.

When it comes to the durability of natural clay tiles, the UK has one of the most aggressive climates in the world. This is due
to the frequent cycles of soaking, freezing and thawing that occur each year. These unique conditions have been recognised in the
latest European Standard for frost testing of clay tiles, which now contains a new test method and with it a recommendation that clay tiles for use in the UK should be able to withstand at least 400 cycles of freezing and thawing. This is nearly four times the
freeze-thaw limits set for other countries and recognises that the current mandatory limit of 100 cycles for the UK is
inadequate.
