Tuileries De Beauvais or Beauvais Diamonds are decorative double interlocking clay roof tiles of French origin. The rare roof tiles are often terracotta red in colour but can range from pale red to dark brown and even black in some cases. Tuileries De Beauvais made from terracotta clay. Terracotta is a term that refers to colour. It also means a ‘sculpture made of earthenware’. A craftsman moulded the original tiles by hand. The craftsman cooked the tile on a wood fire where the clay would not only solidify but also form the roof tile. Mechanical tiles are molded, compressed and baked have now replaced the traditional clay roof tiles.
There are many French clay roof tile designs available, the Beauvais diamond double interlocking tile however is seemingly rare nowadays, consequently seeing a roof decorated with this specific roof tile during a building survey was quite unique. Due to the rarity of these specific clay roof tiles maintenance is likely to be expensive, obtaining Tuileries De Beauvais in a decent condition for maintenance roof repairs may be a difficult task without paying a high price.
Clay roof tiles often have a long-life expectancy but to give an exact date is near impossible. The factors that affect the life of this type of tile are as follows; the quality of the manufacture (of which Beauvais diamonds are high quality), the firing in the kiln as well as the make-up of the material within the tile itself.
