Clay plain tiles
product portfolio
Eternit is the UK’s leading manufacturer of clay plain tiles and fittings.
The Eternit range of tiles can be used for roofing and vertical hanging
in both new and refurbishment work. The company produces a
comprehensive range of roofing products and accessories designed to
satisfy the most aesthetically and technically demanding requirements
for all types of roofing application. The extensive range of colours and
products available offers the designer the flexibility to use this
beautiful natural material to produce both traditional and modern
roofs that bear the stamp of quality and distinction.
Clay plain tiles have been used to cover roofs in Britain for
around seven hundred years, becoming dominant in the
nineteenth century. They form much of the character of
the roofs seen in the South East of England and the
Midlands, where the largest deposits of suitable clay are
located.
Clay tiles are popular as a roof covering because of their
extreme versatility; almost any detail can be reliably
formed by a skilled craftsman using a good plain tile.
Plain tiles, like clay bricks, were traditionally made by
hand. In the twentieth century, however, machine-made
tiles became more widely available; they are more
economical to produce and, being more uniform, impart
a greater regularity to a roof.
