Dreadnought Tiles is one of the oldest businesses in the roof-tiling industry. Established in 1805, they have been preserving traditional artisanal techniques and using natural materials to produce the finest-quality tiles. Committed to enhancing the visual appeal of your homes, their collection of Dreadnought 50 Degree Valley Blue Brindle combines timeless craftsmanship with contemporary design.

The "valley" tiles refer to the specialized components designed for the V-shaped intersections where two sloping roof sections meet. Expertly crafted to enhance both functionality and aesthetics, these tiles efficiently channel rainwater, preventing leaks and maintaining the structural integrity of your home. The 50-degree angle ensures a perfect fit and seamless installation, making them ideal for various roofing projects.

Crafted from mineral-rich Etruria Marl clay, these valley tiles undergo a meticulous firing process in a controlled kiln environment. These tiles provide exceptional durability and weather resistance. The “Blue Brindle” finish features a predominantly blue colour with subtle variations of lighter blue and purple hues, achieved naturally through varying oxidation levels during the firing process.

Dreadnought uses precise kiln control and the inherent properties of the clay to achieve a superior range of natural clay colours without the use of surface treatments. This approach ensures that the tiles exhibit exceptional colour stability and develop a rich film over time. Their expertise has solidified their position as the sole specialist in the production of timeless natural clay tiles.
