Description
Triple Trefoil Crested Ridge Tile 18″ 115° Red Concrete
Triple Trefoil Crested Ridge Tiles offer a distinctive heritage look, perfect for traditional roofing repairs, restorations, or creative garden features. Made from red concrete, these tiles measure 18 inches long, 10.5 inches wide and 9 inches tall. Their 115° pitch fits many period roof designs, especially on older properties with decorative detail. Over the years, weather has softened their finish, adding natural staining, discolouration, and patches of lichen.
Concrete roof tiles first appeared in Europe in the 19th century as a durable, low-cost alternative to slate and clay. Indeed, their strength and long lifespan made them popular across the UK by the early 20th century. These Triple Trefoil Crested Ridge Tiles reflect that tradition, combining robust construction with detailed styling.
The trefoil cresting refers to the three-lobed decorative profile along the top edge. This design draws from Gothic architecture, where trefoils symbolised unity and were used in windows and arches. Additionally, on ridge tiles, the triple crest adds rhythm and shadow to rooflines, offering a striking visual finish.
Decorative Functionality
Triple Trefoil Crested Ridge Tiles work well on both functional and decorative projects. They’re ideal for replacing missing or broken ridge pieces on period homes. Alternatively, use them as a border for raised beds, setting them in mortar for a stable finish. Their aged look helps them blend easily into existing landscapes and older structures.
Choosing reclaimed materials like these triple trefoil ridge tiles brings several benefits. You reduce waste and avoid the energy costs of new production. Additionally, reclaimed tiles often match the colour and texture of existing roofs more closely than modern alternatives. Furthermore, their weathered surfaces give authenticity to any project, helping new work blend with old.
Triple Trefoil Crested Ridge Tiles are a practical, character-rich solution for restorers, builders and gardeners alike. Whether you’re repairing a historic roof or adding detail to a garden, these tiles bring quality and visual depth.
Use with reclaimed bricks for a distinctive small garden wall.
