BMI Redland Rosemary Clay Classic Roof Tile

BMI Redland Rosemary Clay Classic roof tiles bring the familiar scale and texture of a traditional British plain-tile roof. The clay finish suits period properties, sympathetic extensions and new builds where a smaller tile format is part of the design. The current colour selector includes Red, Blue Brindle, Dark Antique and several blended or weathered-looking shades.

Traditional plain clay roof tiles for heritage-style roofing

The existing product specification lists a nominal tile size of 265 x 165mm and indicates that roof pitch, headlap and gauge must follow the approved fixing tables. It gives an indicative 35° minimum pitch for the stated product arrangement, but pitches, exposure zones and fixing specifications must be checked against BMI Redland's current technical literature. The listing also gives an indicative coverage figure of about 60 tiles per m² for a conventional configuration, excluding waste.

Available options and product details

• Product: BMI Redland Rosemary Clay Classic Roof Tile

Choosing the right option

Choose the colour with the building's brickwork and surrounding roofs in mind. Brindled and mixed shades can create natural variation across a roof, while a uniform red can suit a more consistent appearance. Confirm whether the project requires a particular ridge, eaves, verge or hip detail, as these are separate components.

Installation, preparation and ordering advice

Before ordering, use the roof area and approved gauge/headlap to calculate quantities, and account for hips, valleys, eaves, cuts and breakages. Tile fixing depends on exposure, roof height, pitch and local requirements. A roofer should confirm battens, underlay, clips, nails and all roof details against current manufacturer guidance; historical or general figures are not a substitute for the actual specification.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
