Reclaimed terracotta roll top ridge tile with traditional profile
Warm red clay tones with natural weathering and surface patina
Ideal for period properties and heritage roof repairs
Structurally sound with age-related cosmetic wear
Perfect for blending into existing clay tiled roofs

+Product Info

Description

Material: Traditional fired clay (terracotta)
Profile: Roll top ridge tile with a gently rounded top and flat underside
Size class: Traditional tapered ridge (older machine-made form, marginally wider at one end)
Finish: Naturally weathered reclaimed surface with visible age-related patina
Colour: Warm terracotta red with darker staining, spotting, and subtle surface variation from long-term exposure
Condition: Structurally sound reclaimed condition, with cosmetic wear, light surface pitting, and minor marks consistent with age and previous use

Overall look & use:
This ridge tile displays a classic soft terracotta tone and timeworn character that blends naturally with older clay-tiled roofs. Its simple roll-top profile makes it a versatile choice for sympathetic roof repairs and traditional builds, particularly where maintaining an authentic, non-uniform finish is important.

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.
