Marley's Acme Double Camber clay plain tiles have enabled a standout visionary design to become a reality on a bespoke two bedroom property in rural Gloucestershire, which has won ‘Roof of the Year’ at the NFRC Awards.

The fluidity of the roof design at Quintain House disguises the need for a highly complex roofing sub structure, a testing brief which saw roofing contractor, Rowlands Roofing, specify Marley's Acme Double Camber clay plain tiles. With its longitudinal and latitudinal camber, the clay tile’s unique double curve was the ideal choice to create the highly textured roofscape the project sought.

Almost 60,000 Marley's Acme Double Camber clay plain tiles were fixed to the roof, all of which had to cut by hand on site. The 820sq m sized roof was a significant area; so, to achieve the design vision, each of the 60,000 tiles had to be individually marked and cut to match the space requirements of all the roof sections. Quintain House also won the ‘Roof Tiling’ Award at the prestigious 2017 NFRC Awards.

Andy Rowlands, owner of Rowlands Roofing, said:"Having worked with Marley's products and team of experts before, we were confident they could deliver a robust solution, which not only perfectly lent itself to the architect’s vision for the project, but also offered increased functionality. We worked with the team at Marley's during the project to help us meet the bespoke needs of this challenging design.”
