New clay roofing tile products hit the UK Market

Brickability Group PLC and Schermbecker Building Products joint venture to produce high-quality clay roofing tiles is now fully operational.

Our factory in Schermbeck, Germany, is currently producing around 25,000 tonnes of clay roof tiles annually for distribution into the UK and European markets.

Over the past months, modifications to the factory have been completed allowing us to further produce 2 new tiles to the current range. The new tiles we have developed are a single camber plain tile and a V10 double flat tile.

Crest Building Products part of the Brickability Group and one of the UK’s leading suppliers of facing bricks and roof tiles will be the importer, delivering directly to roofing merchants, distributors, developers and builders’ merchants.

The strategic partnership with Schermbecker Building Products and the Brickability Group will provide a much-needed solution to the severe shortage of clay roof tiles in the UK, and in doing so has further strengthened the Group’s position in the market.

The most modern technologies in the factory’s production facilities ensure that the tiles profiles are precise in their shape enabling the roof tilers to provide a high-quality finished roof. All roof tiles are available in various colours and finishes, and all come with special tiles and fittings.

The range includes:

Wolds Clay Pantile

A traditional non-interlocking clay pantile. This classically shaped pantile is manufactured to the highest standards using only the best raw materials.

H15 Clay Pantile

A beautiful new double-interlocking clay tile that when fitted has the appearance of a traditional pantile. It is available in an attractive range of colours and finishes.

SP10 Clay Tile

A modern take on a traditional ‘Courtrai style’ roof tile. Essentially a single Roman clay tile, the SP10 has a flat pan with a subtle single roll.

All New V10

A double interlocking clay roof tile is the result of combining two smallformat tiles into a single tile with its mock bond feature. This major technical innovation offers both the good looks of small tiles and the rapid installation of large format tiles. The V10 is comes in 4 stunning colours and plans are already in place to add more colours to the range.

Plain Tile - 265mm x 165mm

The Crest Schermbecker single camber is a non-interlocking clay plain tile. An appealing traditional plain tile available in Natural Red, Toscana and Matt Black with plans to further develop the range by adding some sanding to the tile surface to which will add distinction and character to pitched roofing.
