Bridgewater Terracotta Double Roman Roof Tiles 14″ x 16½”

Reclaimed Bridgewater terracotta double Roman roof tiles offer durability, character, and proven performance for traditional and modern roofing projects. Terracotta roofing dates back thousands of years, used by Roman builders across Europe for reliable weather protection. The material comes from fired natural clay, which creates dense, long lasting roof coverings. Because of this process, terracotta resists frost damage, moisture absorption, and thermal movement very effectively. As a result, terracotta remains a preferred roofing material across varied climates and building styles.

The double Roman design features two rolls and two pans formed into each tile. This profile creates strong overlapping channels that direct water safely down the roof. Consequently, roofs gain excellent weather resistance even at lower pitches. Although installed in a straight bond, the overlapping form improves strength and drainage. Therefore, the design remains popular on housing developments and refurbishment projects.

Bridgewater refers to a well known UK manufacturer of clay roofing products. The company has supplied reliable terracotta tiles for decades across domestic construction markets. Builders recognise Bridgewater products for consistency, compatibility, and long term performance.

These Bridgewater terracotta double Roman roof tiles come reclaimed from previous roofs. They display patches of lichen, minor chips, and surface discolouration from natural ageing. However, the tiles remain structurally sound and suitable for continued roofing use. This weathered patina helps Bridgewater terracotta double Roman roof tiles blend into existing roofs during repairs. Matching older tiles becomes easier without visual disruption or stark colour contrast.

Cost Effective Roof Tiles

Alternatively, the aged appearance benefits new builds in rural or sensitive locations. The softened finish reduces visual impact against surrounding landscapes and neighbouring buildings. Each tile measures 14 inches by 16 and a half inches. This generous size allows wide coverage and efficient installation across larger roof areas. Fewer tiles reduce fixing time while maintaining reliable weather protection.

Reclaimed Bridgewater terracotta double Roman roof tiles also support sustainable building practices. Reusing materials cuts landfill waste and reduces demand for new clay extraction. Additionally, reclaimed tiles often provide cost savings compared with new alternatives. Terracotta tiles require minimal maintenance once installed correctly.
Their colour remains stable because it forms naturally during firing. Homeowners benefit from long service life and dependable roof performance.
