British Dark Blend

Another beauty from our flagship range of British handmade tiles, Dark Blend brings together deep browns and rich smoky shadows, with warm flashes of terracotta glowing through where the light catches the surface. Each tile carries that same distinctive handmade texture – full of organic flecks, gentle ridges, and the kind of character that only true craftsmanship leaves behind. Dark Blend is a striking choice for historic restorations, and period barns, where a deep, weathered roof can lend instant gravitas and warmth to the building below.

Recommendation

  • Nib Roof Tiles to be laid in accordance with BS 5534
  • Tiles to be drawn from all pallets to achieve the best blend and avoid “patching”
  • Tiles should be layed by a well practiced roofer with experience using handmade clay tiles
  • Pallets on site should be on firm, dry and level ground, no more than two pallets high
  • Due to limitations of the print process, colours should be selected from actual samples

Due to the variations in clay, finishes and production processes, it is good practice to request a most recent sample before confirming an order. Colours, shades, and shapes can vary batch to batch.
