By seamlessly blending traditional craftsmanship with the finest natural materials, they create roof tiles that add exceptional character and durability to any property. Their legacy, spanning multiple generations of family ownership, reflects their unwavering commitment to quality and innovation.

The Dreadnought Valley Tile is a specialised addition to their esteemed collection, designed to provide both functionality and aesthetic appeal at roof valleys. The “valley” refers to the V-shaped intersection where two sloping roof surfaces meet, and these tiles are specifically crafted to ensure effective water drainage while complementing the roof’s overall appearance.

Made from natural Etruria Marl clay, these valley tiles are available in a range of natural hues, from warm and earthy tones to deeper and richer shades. The roof tiles are fired in a delicately controlled kiln environment, using varying levels of oxidation to produce unique and authentic textures. Dreadnought offers valley tiles suited for roof pitches ranging from 35 to 50 degrees, providing a tailored solution for different roof designs.

Dreadnought’s precise kiln control and use of natural clay properties ensure a superior finish without the need for artificial surface treatments.
