Description

Material: Clay

Profile: angle cap vent ridge tile with block end (integrated ventilation opening)

Size class: Approx. 480-290mm

Finish: Heavily weathered reclaimed surface with natural ageing, lichen and moss coverage

Colour: Weathered terracotta / brown clay with green moss staining and natural tonal variation

Condition: Structurally sound but cosmetically aged — surface weathering, lichen spotting and minor edge wear typical of reclaimed stock

Overall look & use:
This reclaimed angle vent ridge with block end provides both ridge line termination and roof space ventilation in a single traditional clay unit. The integrated underside vent opening allows airflow while maintaining the classic half round ridge appearance.

Its weathered terracotta base with natural moss and lichen staining gives strong character, making it particularly suitable for blending into older, established roofs.

It is particularly suited to:

Ridge line termination with ventilation requirements
Loft and roof space airflow improvements
Roof repairs and maintenance
Matching existing aged ridge tiles
Period and heritage properties

Slating Headlap

Lap

Expandable Headlap Info

Choosing Headlap

Definition: The vertical overlap between successive rows of tiles to prevent water ingress.

Factors to consider:

Roof pitch: Shallower pitches (< 30°) need 75–100 mm; steeper (> 45°) can use 50 mm.
Climate & exposure: Wind-driven rain or heavy rainfall zones benefit from more headlap.
Tile profile: Deeper tiles may require extra overlap to seal correctly.

Rule of thumb:

Standard (30–45°): 50–75 mm
Low (< 30°): 75–100 mm
High (> 45°): 50 mm

Slate Size / Type

Slate 50mm Lap

Selecting Tile Size

Coverage per tile: Larger tiles cover more area but are heavier, affecting handling and substrate load.

Aesthetic scale: Big tiles suit modern, minimal lines on large roofs; smaller tiles give more texture and a traditional look.

Structural limits: Check rafters and battens can support the chosen tile’s weight and fixing centres.

Installation speed vs. waste: Larger tiles lay faster but may require more cutting at edges, increasing waste. Smaller tiles take longer but can reduce off-cuts.

Compatibility: Ensure the tile size works with your chosen headlap & side-lap for correct coverage per m².

By balancing pitch, weather, substrate capacity and appearance, you’ll pick the optimal tile size for performance and style.

Slates Per m2

Expandable Slates per m² Info

Calculating Slates per m²

Definition: Number of slates needed to cover one square metre.

Formula: 1 000 000 mm² ÷ (effective width × effective height)

Where:

Effective width = tile width – side lap
Effective height = tile height – head lap

Example: 610 mm × 355 mm tile, 20 mm side lap, 75 mm head lap:

Effective width: 610 − 20 = 590 mm
Effective height: 355 − 75 = 280 mm
Area per slate: 590 × 280 = 165 200 mm²
Slates per m²: 1 000 000 ÷ 165 200 ≈ 6.05

Adjust your headlap and sidelap values for precise coverage calculations.
