Heathland's Good Looks

Heathland’s looks come at a price. A price that’s 50% less than handmade clay, and a price that’s less costly to the environment.

Look closely at a high-quality handmade clay tile and those little quirks that give it its character are obvious: the uneven leading edges, the irregular sides, the varied texture.

Heathland concrete tiles have been developed to recreate all these same features but at a fraction of the cost. The range of colours has been carefully developed to offer real alternatives to the leading handmade clay tiles in the market with Wealden Red and Elizabethan the latest additions to this unique range of tiles.

Meticulous attention is paid to the fine sands applied which are exactly the same as those used for clay tiles.

Manufactured to the very highest standards, Heathland tiles come with the famous Redland ‘when-fitted-correctly-our-roofs-do-not-fail’ guarantee, which covers not just the tiles themselves but the whole roofing system.

Redland makes it easy to design and specify the roof and its guarantee takes over the specifier’s design liability.

If good looks, performance and a 50% saving aren’t convincing enough, think of the planet. According to an environmental audit, clay tile manufacture leads to 80% more embodied CO₂ than making Heathland tiles.

In a study conducted by Arup and reviewed by the Carbon Trust and the University of Bath, it was found that embodied carbon for traditional double-lapped clay plain tiles is nearly twice that of Heathland. This shouldn’t come as a surprise when the high-energy supplies, demanded around the clock to fuel the extreme kiln temperatures needed for clay tile production, is considered.

So choose Heathland for good looks that cost you and the environment less.
