After publication of a pioneering Biodiversity Action Plan, Eternit Building Materials has begun work at its clay tiles factory, creating wildlife ponds to safeguard the protected Great Crested Newt.
Brian Hughes, from Eatonfield explains: "Our in-house design team specified the Acme clay tiles because we wanted to achieve the visual appeal of a traditional roof with ease of fitting and time-efficiency".
"With this development, our aim was to extend and refurbish the properties in a manner befitting their location in protected woodland, so we wanted to choose a roofing material that blended in with both the natural and historical surroundings.
The finished result is very impressive".
Roofing contractors Maxiflow used nearly 80,000 Marley Eternit Red Smooth single camber Acme tiles which gave the roof crisp, clean lines, whilst retaining the warmth and character associated with clay".

"Diana Bullock, campaign manager at Marley Eternit, concludes: "It is important that our extensive clay plain tile range makes it easy for specifiers to match in new build and renovation projects like this one, whilst making it affordable".
