Reclaimed Handmade Single Nib Roof Tile Clay 10.25″ x 6.25″
Reclaimed handmade Single Nib Roof Tiles in terracotta offer a timeless charm while providing practical benefits for restoration and eco-conscious projects. These tiles, crafted from terracotta, have a rich history dating back thousands of years. Ancient civilizations, including the Romans and Greeks, used terracotta for its durability and aesthetic appeal. Today, terracotta remains an ideal material for roof tiles due to its natural strength and ability to withstand harsh weather conditions.
Terracotta’s suitability for roofing comes from its unique composition. Made from clay, it is fired at high temperatures to achieve hardness and weather resistance. Its earthy tones, including warm reds and oranges, age beautifully, developing a patina that enhances its character over time. The natural thermal properties of terracotta also help regulate indoor temperatures, improving energy efficiency.
Single Nib Roof Tiles are distinct from other roof tiles due to their design. A “single nib” refers to a small protrusion on the back of the tile, which hooks over roof battens. This design eliminates the need for fixing holes, creating a clean appearance while ensuring secure placement. Reclaimed Single Nib Roof Tiles measure 10.25 inches long and 6.25 inches wide, making them a versatile choice for various roofing styles.
