New and reclaimed roof tiles
Roof tiles are available in a range of profiles and colours. There are lightweight tiles with the appearance of traditional clay or concrete pantiles combined with exceptional performance characteristics. Haydock Slating can advise you on the best kind of tile to use on your property.
There are many types of tile available, for example:
• Natural clay tiles
• Terracotta tiles
• Clay tiles
• Roman (Spanish) tiles
• Concrete tiles
• Metal Tiles
• Plastic Tiles
• Solar PV roof tiles
Many builders, architects and home owners are investing in new technology to provide renewable electricity.
Solar panels and solar PV roof tiles are being fitted on new build properties or incorporated into an existing roof during re-roofing. Roof tiles with built-in photovoltaic solar cells are designed to blend in with existing roof tiles whether they are interlocking concrete tiles, slates or shingles. The tiles have a plug-in connector to allow them to be wired together during installation.
Tiling
Tiles have many advantages over other roofing materials. The variety of shapes, sizes and colours available, make it easier to find tiles to suit your building. Tiles are an ideal material for roofing conservatories, porches and curved features.
Clay tiles have a beautiful, timeless look and provide excellent results when applied to curved roof sections.
Clay tiles are favoured for their quality, durability, long life and flexibility of form. Clay tiles, or concrete tiles (the lower cost alternative), just might be the right choice for your roofing project. Clay has the ability to insulate, so inside temperatures are kept warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This is a material with the natural ability to reflect heat from the sun, making them energy efficient and reducing the cost of maintaining comfortable temperatures in your home.
