Stoneleaf Pembury handmade clay plain tiles were chosen to cover this stunning barn style new build near Dunmow, Essex. The design called for a natural, rustic appearance of historic English farm buildings – the roofing material needed to provide authentic colour variation and texture, rather than the uniformity often seen with concrete or synthetic tiles.
The variation in the 2 colour mix – 60% Medium Antique and 40% Red Blend, achieves the desired traditional barn look with colour depth and irregularities.
Pembury handmade clay tiles are available in four attractive colours – Red Blend, Burnt Red, Medium Antique and Dark Antique, with a full range of fittings to suit different roof designs. For peace of mind, they are fully tested to ensure they meet the requirements for flexural strength, water impermeability and durability according to BS EN 1304.
The roofing works were expertly carried out by Danny and James of Blyth Roofing, who added a decorative touch to a lower level roof by including diamond shaped Stoneleaf Del Mino Best Grade natural slates cut on site.
