{"product_id":"handmade-clay-plain-roof-tile-traditional-265-x-165mm-peg-tile-5-colours","title":"Handmade Clay Plain Roof Tile – Traditional 265 x 165mm Peg Tile, 5 Colours","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome roofs are built from a spec sheet. Others are built tile by tile, each one slightly different from the last, because that is how a clay plain tile has always been made. This handmade clay plain roof tile keeps that tradition: pressed and fired individually rather than extruded on a machine line, so no two tiles are perfectly identical in shape, thickness or shade. On a re-roof, extension or heritage repair, that natural variation is what makes a roof of small plain tiles look right rather than uniform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a true single-camber peg tile in the 265 x 165mm format used across the South East and beyond, sized to lay at the standard gauge pitched roofers already work to. Because a real roof needs hundreds or thousands of these tiles rather than one or two, it is sold in bulk packs rather than as a single unit – order the pack size that matches your coverage and top up with a smaller pack for cuts, verges and repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuinely handmade clay, not a machine-pressed look-alike – natural texture and colour variation tile to tile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard 265 x 165mm single-camber peg tile format, compatible with existing UK plain tile roofs at the usual gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFired clay construction: dimensionally stable, frost resistant and effectively maintenance-free once laid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive curated colourways from warm reds to dark antique tones, suited to both new-build and heritage matching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in bulk packs sized for real roofing quantities, not single-tile basket fillers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandmade clay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTile size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e265mm x 165mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProfile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle camber, peg tile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTypical coverage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 60 tiles per m² at standard 65mm gauge (allow extra for cuts, hips and verges)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFixing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNailed or nib-hung to battens per BS 5534, with tiling battens and nails sold separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCertification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUKCA \u0026amp; CE marked\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColourways in this range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Antique, Weathered Earth, Red Antique, Rustic Red, Sussex Brown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePack sizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 \/ 100 \/ 250 tiles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrdering \u0026amp; installation guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm your roof area and gauge with your roofer before ordering, then add roughly 5–10% for cuts, verges, hips and breakages.
