This premium batch of 2 hole crested ridge tiles delivers instant historical character to your roofing project. Salvaged from period properties, these tiles combine traditional British craftsmanship with sustainable building practices.

Why Choose Terracotta for Roofing?

Terracotta remains a premier choice for manufacturing high-quality chimney pots, roof tiles, and ridge fittings.

• Exceptional Durability: Fired clay withstands centuries of harsh British weather without losing structural integrity.

• Natural Insulation: The material offers excellent thermal properties, keeping buildings warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

• Breathability: Terracotta allows moisture to escape naturally, which prevents dampness in the roof timber space.

• Colour Longevity: Natural clay resists fading from UV rays, so the deep red hues run completely through the material.

Product Specifications & Fit

Measuring 12 inches long by 9 1/2 inches wide, each tile stands 10 inches high with a precise 90-degree pitch. Consequently, this batch of 2 hole crested ridge tiles contains 16 pieces to create a complete 5-metre run.

This specific design represents one of the most popular ridge styles since the Victorian era. Furthermore, the distinctive crests add a decorative, defining silhouette to any roofline.

Side Use of the Two Holes

While highly decorative, the classic two-hole design serves several clever incidental purposes.

• Winching: The open holes provided an anchor point with which to hoist them up to roof level during installation.

• Securing Wires: Modern installers sometimes use the apertures to secure lightning conductors or decorative festive lighting safely.

Authentic Weathered Character in 2 Hole Crested Ridge Tiles

Despite significant age, this batch of 2 hole crested ridge tiles retains its rich, original terracotta colouring. However, time has left a beautiful, authentic patina across the entire collection.

Environmental discolouration, patches of natural lichen, and general roof detritus pepper the surface of many tiles. Ultimately, this varied weathering brings genuine presence and historical integrity to your building project.

This batch of 2 hole crested ridge tiles bridges the gap between the past and modern sustainable design perfectly. Therefore, they suit sensitive restoration projects or new builds seeking an authentic, vintage aesthetic.

The Benefits of Reclaimed Roofing Materials

Choosing salvaged materials, such as chimney pots and roof tiles, offers distinct environmental and structural advantages for your home.

Using reclaimed clay products prevents high-energy manufacturing loops, drastically lowering the carbon footprint of your project.

• Instant Maturity: New tiles look sterile, whereas reclaimed options blend seamlessly with established local architecture.

• Proven Longevity: These tiles survived decades on a British roof, proving their frost resistance and overall durability.

• Eco-Friendly Building: You conserve natural resources and divert quality clay materials away from local landfills.

• Historical Accuracy: Local planning authorities often demand original materials for listed buildings and conservation areas.
