Lothian tops new Barratt development
The Lothian from Russell Roof Tiles has provided the perfect finish to a brand new housing development in the East Midlands.
Many developers and specifiers now prefer the European styling offered by a thin leading edge.
However, for Contractors in the UK, their choice of tile has to be extremely durable and robust to withstand the harsh British weather conditions in addition to meeting on-site logistical demands.
Environmental credentials are also becoming increasingly important.
Thanks to a simulated centre joint, the Lothian tile covers a large area whilst giving the impression of two smaller plain tiles.
Due to the use of fewer tiles, the Contractor benefits from reduced installation time and reduced labour cost.
In addition, 25% more tiles can be loaded onto one pallet, thus resulting in a reduction of supply chain outlay due to the use of fewer pallets.
Developers who are keen to promote their 'green' credentials should also be impressed by the fact that the whole Lothian range is manufactured using leading edge technology and eco-friendly methods, which require 40% less raw material than traditional plain tiles.
Another major advantage for the contractor is that the new tile does not have a restriction on lap, allowing the tile to be lapped up to as much as 170mm with continuous dry verge, and even more with wet bedding.
All of which is backed by the provision of Russell's high-speed delivery service, which offers delivery to site in around 4-5 days from receipt of order.
Lothian is part of The Imperial Range which is manufactured in accordance with the requirements of British Standards EN 490:1994 and EN 491:1994 and is guaranteed for a period of sixty years from the date of supply (subject to the normal terms of guarantee).
Russell Roof Tiles manufacture a wide range of high quality concrete tiles, ridge tiles and systems in a choice of colours and finishes to meet the demands of most applications.
