Red Mono Ridge Tile 12″ Reclaimed

Inject timeless character into your building project with these striking red mono ridge tiles.

A mono ridge tile features a distinct asymmetrical shape with one flat edge and two sloping sides. Roofers typically utilise them at the top apex of a mono-pitch or single-slope roof structure. Consequently, they provide a weatherproof seal where the single roof slope meets a vertical wall.

What Size Are These Tiles?

These durable red mono ridge tiles measure 12 inches wide. Additionally, they feature uneven wings measuring 10 inches and 6.5 inches. Each substantial piece weighs 7kg, which ensures excellent stability against harsh winds.

Years of exposure to the British elements have heavily weathered these salvaged mono ridge tiles. Therefore, they exhibit a dark discolouration, patches of organic lichen, minor chips, and remnants of old bedding mortar. However, you can easily spot the rich terracotta colouring on the underside and in small surface patches. These unique characteristics show true age.

What Are the Benefits Of Using These Tiles?

Incorporating reclaimed roofing materials into your property offers fantastic structural and environmental benefits. Indeed, reclaimed clay tiles provide proven longevity because they have already withstood decades of winter frosts. Furthermore, choosing these red mono ridge tiles prevents historic building waste from entering modern landfills.

New factory alternatives often look stark and out of place on older properties. In contrast, these authentic red mono ridge tiles blend seamlessly with historic brickwork and established local landscapes. As a result, they offer an instant architectural maturity that modern mass-produced options simply cannot replicate. Moreover, buying these reclaimed mono ridge tiles guarantees a beautiful, sustainable finish with genuine historical soul.
