Fitting an eaves course under the bottom course of standard tiles allows for any rainwater to flow off the roof before it has a chance to get to the battens and felt, which form the base layer of the roof. - ## Tile and a Half Also known as gable tiles, a tile and a half is a vital fitting when laying a roof. By using a tile and a half, installers are able to maintain the desired tile bond pattern without having to cut tiles onsite. Traditionally, installers would lay the tile and a half by alternating between each end of the standard tile course. - ## Ridges As a national roof tile supplier, we supply a wide range of options for the ridge of any roof. Whether you’re looking for standard half-round, angled ridges or maybe something a little more decorative for your roof, enquire now about the various ridge options we supply. We can even supply mono ridge, should you be looking to incorporate both pitched and flat roofs on your building - ## Hips We can supply a wide variety of different hips ranging from bonnet hips to third round and even tapered hips. We are happy to supply these hips in either clay or concrete to suit individual needs. - ## Valleys Although GRP valleys are becoming more and more popular for larger scale building projects and developments, traditional clay valley tiles will offer an unmatched elegance. - ## Vertical Angle Tile Vertical angle tiles are a very important part of tile hanging, allowing designers to place tiles around corners while keeping the bond of the tiles. Available in left-handed and right-handed orientations, our vertical angle tiles also come in the full range of colour options to match you clay roof tiles perfectly. - ## Ornamental Tiles Why not create a standout feature amongst your vertical hanging tiles? Our ornamental tiles are increasing in popularity as they offer designers and architects the means to create intricate details on project facades. Whether you want to use clubs or fishtails as a feature, or you wish to only use ornamental tiles, we can help you transform your tilework into a striking project feature. - ![Holborough Lakes 20](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/_638x437_crop_center-center_none/Holborough-Lakes-20_2023-10-19-195926_dlpx.jpg) - ![Flame Red Eaves 3 e1545063783750](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/Clay-Roof-Tiles/_638x437_crop_center-center_none/35433/Flame-Red-Eaves-3-e1545063783750.jpg) - ![Lifestiles Gable Tiles e1545218734119](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/Clay-Roof-Tiles/_638x437_crop_center-center_none/114971/Lifestiles-Gable-Tiles-e1545218734119_2023-11-17-101841_ibby.jpg) - ![Adobe Stock 80337687](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/_638x437_crop_center-center_none/35096/AdobeStock_80337687.jpg) - ![Burgundy Sandfaced Bonnets 802x1024](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/Clay-Roof-Tiles/_638x437_crop_center-center_none/35441/Burgundy-Sandfaced-Bonnets-802x1024.jpg) - ![Handmade Restoration Valley 1024x475](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/Clay-Roof-Tiles/_638x437_crop_center-center_none/35446/Handmade-Restoration-Valley-1024x475.jpg) - ![Holborough Lakes 19](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/_638x437_crop_center-center_none/Holborough-Lakes-19.jpg) - ![Dreadnought Blue Brindle smoothfaced 808x1024](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Roofling/Clay-Roof-Tiles/_638x437_crop_center-center_none/35442/Dreadnought-Blue-Brindle-smoothfaced-808x1024.jpg) ## Your questions answered Why use clay roofing tiles?
