builder
Ben Bailey Homes has used two of Sandtoft's clay tiles to roof an entire development.
Ben Bailey Homes (now part of The Gladedale Group) specified Sandtoft's 20/20 and Humber tiles for The Park in Mansfield, citing both tiles' strong aesthetics and production from natural clay, as well as the design freedom offered by the wider Sandtoft range, as being instrumental in their choice Joan Meakin, Senior Buyer at Gladedale, commented: "We looked at Sandtoft tiles for this development due to the wide range of styles and materials offered by their product portfolio"

"We were intent on using tiles that not only offered superior aesthetics in order to complement the overall finish of the properties, but that were also made from a natural material rather than concrete or fibre cement".
"As both 20/20 and Humber are made from clay and look absolutely stunning on the roof, they met the brief perfectly." The Park is a mixed development of 5 bed executive houses, apartments and conversions situated in a quiet, established, tree-lined location.
The properties have been in great demand since their construction and all but two have already sold.
Judging by feedback from the new residents, the roofs in particular have been well received.
Joan Meakin continues: "The tiles used at The Park have surpassed expectation in every way - and especially from an aesthetics point of view".
"Everyone comments on the how good the roofs look and as a result, we now use this particular development as a showcase." Also commenting on the project, Nick Oldridge, Sales and Marketing Director at Sandtoft, said: "Sandtoft prides itself on offering a wide range of products that allow us to accommodate any need, objective or architectural preference".
"Best of all, and as customers like Gladedale have discovered, this diverse range offers the reassurance of having certain key qualities in common such as ease of use, superior quality and exceptional aesthetics.".
