Ornamental tiles were common in Victorian architecture and were used to add interest to large expanses of roof or vertical cladding.
In the main they are used either in a series of bands or in diamond shapes. Experience has shown that Ornamental tiles look best, tiled as an odd number of courses i.e. 3 or 5. Whilst Ornamental tiles and Plain tiles in the same colour provide a subtle feature, a more striking contrast can be obtained if the Ornamental tiles are shown in different colours.
Dreadnought Tiles are a British manufacturer based in Staffordshire where they have been manufacturing clay roof tiles using locally sourced Etruria Marl Clay for over 215 years.
Etruria Marl (Staffordshire Clay) roofing products have unrivalled strength and durability (it is also used to make Staffordshire Blue Class A Engineering Bricks).
All Dreadnought colours from blues, brindles and browns to reds are generated without the use of artificial stains or coloured sands; instead the colours are the product of careful control of the kiln atmosphere. This natural quality, which creates subtle colour variation within each tile, gives a unique quality to the Dreadnought product that enhances the appearance of any roof.
