The BMI Redland Concrete Tile and a Half, also referred to as the Gable Tile, is a vital component in any plain tile roofing system, offering both practicality and visual consistency. Designed to work alongside standard plain tiles, the tile and a half fitting is ideal for areas such as verges, gable ends, or when cutting tiles would otherwise disrupt the pattern. Its clever design ensures a strong, tidy finish, while maintaining the overall roofline’s appearance.
These tiles are part of BMI Redland’s broader concrete plain tile range, available in a choice of twelve surface finishes and colours, making them highly versatile. Whether you're looking to match traditional roof materials or create a subtle contrast, this range provides the flexibility to complement architectural styles across the UK. The combination of robust concrete construction and timeless design makes them suitable not only for pitched roofs but also for external wall cladding applications.
