Sandtoft 20/20 Flanders Clay Interlocking Plain tile

The Sandtoft 20/20 Interlocking Plain Tile is a contemporary evolution of the classic plain roof tile, offering enhanced flexibility and performance through its modern interlocking design.

Crafted from premium natural Humber clay, these tiles boast exceptional durability and natural beauty, with the clay’s slight irregularity adding charm and texture to any roof. Perfect for low-pitch extensions, the innovative design allows the tiles to perform on pitches as low as 15°. The 20/20 tile is also highly efficient, reducing the number of battens required per m² by up to 60%, saving time and materials during installation.

Sandtoft 20/20 Tile Laying Recommendations

Sandtoft recommends laying 20/20 tiles in a broken (or cross) bond pattern to replicate the traditional look of double-lapped slates. While it is possible to lay them in a straight bond pattern (like other single-lapped tiles), this is not recommended for the following reasons:

• All Sandtoft specifications, including minimum roof pitch and fixing requirements, are based on broken bond installation.
• The 20/20 plastic tile clip is designed exclusively for tiles laid in a broken bond.
• Sandtoft has not tested the performance of 20/20 tiles laid in a straight bond, so RoofSPEC guarantees and durability warranties do not apply to straight-bond installations.

For optimal performance and to maintain warranty coverage, always follow Sandtoft's recommendation to lay the tiles in a broken bond pattern.
