Frontier Frontier shingle style tiles offer you amazing versatility. They can be laid with a regular exposure to produce a neat uniform roof, or vary the exposures and suddenly you have a rustic looking roof. Specify the option of warped tiles and you achieve the look of a very old weather worn roof. All this with just one tile - FRONTIER. We have created a range of muted colors to complement not over shadow your wall finishes. Frontier will suit many styles of architecture and it s easily installed. As far as we are aware Frontier is the least expensive truly handcrafted, Grade 1, shingle style, clay roof tile available on the market today. You can call us old fashioned but when we say Frontier is handcrafted we mean exactly that. After the pad of clay has been extruded, the surface texture, butt (lower) edge is finished and the coloration is applied - all by hand.

Goxhill & Ashdowne From around 800 years English Plain tiles, known as shingle tiles in North America, have had a distinctive appearance. Slightly cambered in width and length, a gritty sandy surface and muted color tones give an elegance to any roof. The makers of both Goxhill and Ashdowne continue in that fine tradition, offering different color choices but the same distinctly English fittings, such as Valley tiles, Bonnet hips and Hogs-back ridge. Followers of the William Morris Arts and Crafts movement and renowned English architects such as Sir Edwin Lutyens used tiles of this style on their country houses. Today Northern Roof Tiles is proud to offer the same English handcrafted clay tiles. We can also provide the expertise and guidance to replicate the details from this bygone era. For the truly understated elegance of an English roof you cannot do better then either the Goxhill or Ashdowne hand crafted tiles.

Mediterranean The lands surrounding the northern shores of the Mediterranean have a rich history of clay tiles roofs. The Greeks and Romans used clay tiles on their homes and buildings. Today there are many regional variations based on the original two piece Tegula (under or pan) and Imbrex (over or cover) tile theme. Today Northern Roof Tiles can offer you two basic choices, the traditional two piece Mission or the more technically advanced one piece, interlocking Roman with its interlocking technology for total weather protection. Both options offer the same array of natural colors, which in the case of the Mission can be blended to create an exciting, instantly aged and seemingly weather worn roof.

Cotswold Conservation Anyone who has had the pleasure of traveling through the rolling English Cotswold countryside will remember the distinctive color and texture of the local hand split limestone roofs. Although Northern can supply the natural stone it is very expensive, so a more affordable alternative is our Cotswold Conservation, which perfectly replicates the graduated sizes, surface texture and coloration of the original mellow roofs.
Pantiles - the other traditional English tile The Pantiles gentle wave profile is reminiscent of the rolling hills of England and gives a much softer look than, for example, a Mediterranean barrel tile.

They are also seen throughout Northern France, Belgium, Holland and Scandinavia.
