Roof Tile Design Ideas

The roof can make up around 40% of the exterior of your home – so selecting the right finish is crucial. With a variety of tiling patterns and finishes on show, these inspiring projects will help set you on the right path.

Period

The subtle variations that add heritage character to the roof of this Oxfordshire self-build are the result of a carefully-selected blend of 70% Staffordshire Blue and 30% Dark Heather units from Dreadnought Tiles’ Classic handmade range.

“The roof is fairly large compared to the size of the building, so I knew I needed to find the right product,” says owner Bernice Cuthbert.

To achieve the best possible results, the roofers were careful to take their time getting the mix absolutely right on site. “I’ve been delighted with the tiles since day one,” says Bernice. This blend is available from £52.01 per m2 (including delivery but excluding VAT).

Handmade

If you’re keen to add character to your home, getting the perfect roof tile blend is crucial. This project features a combination of traditional mellow colours from Tudor Roof Tiles’ handmade plain clay range: 60% Medium Antique; 25% Red Antique; and 15% Jubilee (a subtle two-toned design with an earthy face colour and random dark staining).

The handmade plain tiles, which start at around £60 per m2, create a sense of a mature, time-weathered roof. The look is completed with quintessentially English bonnet hips.
