Eternit Clay Tiles Come Home To Roost
Only Eternit Building Materials could supply the complete range of natural clay plain tiles and fittings for an ornate roof for a house, called "The Roost".
Previously, the only two sandfaced colours in the range were Farmhouse Brown and Heather.
Popular partly for its cost-effectiveness and its double camber that helps water discharge even more quickly from the roof surface as well as adding more texture to each tile course, the Acme range of plain tiles is complemented by a range of dry fix accessories.
Suitable for vertical tile hanging as well as laying on roofs, the Acme is colourfast and requires no routine maintenance.
Manufactured to BS EN 1304:1998 in a kite marked factory, the range is guaranteed for 60 years.
Sarah Jackson, plain tiles product manager for Marley Eternit, said: "Our plain tiles have always been widely accepted by UK local planning authorities because they were suitable for areas with sensitive planning issues". Request a free brochure from Marley Eternit ...
"But in the ever more demanding climate of better-designed and affordable homes and focus on whole-life costs, our specifiers required even more colour choice so that is what we have given them.".
