27/08/2010

Keymer, one of the UK's most popular producers of heritage and craft clay roof tiles, is now stocking its outstanding range of products for immediate dispatch. As demand for its quality handmade clay tiles continues to grow, the company is especially pleased to be able to stock its tiles, ensuring every property can benefit from the finest quality clay roofs around, however tight its timings.

Established over 400 years ago, Keymer holds an impressive legacy in hand made and bespoke clay tile manufacture. With its many years experience in the manufacture of handmade clay roof tiles, the firm is adept at manufacturing to the highest standards. Using knowledge from the 18th and 19th centuries, its products are manufactured by master tilers who are capable of hand crafting around 2000 tiles a day.

Rigorously inspected for quality, Keymer's tiles are not only reliable, but are guaranteed to add that extra bit of polish to any home. Varied in shape and colour, they make houses stand out from the crowd. Thanks to the use of high quality clay, the tone of the tiles alters in different weathers for a unique, organic effect. Unlike machine made alternatives, they mature with age to give rooftops a stunning aesthetic that improves year on year. As every tile is handmade, each one is unique, ensuring that any rooftop can benefit from original good looks.

The tiles are made from Wealden clay, a sought after material from the rural south of England. It is this that gives them their unique appearance and excellent performance qualities. As Keymer is keen to preserve its local environment, it goes to great lengths managing spent clay pits to ensure their sustainability. The company also ensures a low carbon footprint in its operations and remains at the forefront of green practice at all times.

From peg tiles to ornamentals, rustic fittings and terracotta tile-mounted cute animals and gargoyles, Keymer offers a wide range of products for consumers, designers and roofing contractors alike. The range also ensures that customers can find a set of tiles that meets their tastes and their budgets.

Keymer's tiles have been used on a host of the most prestigious historic sites. These include Cambridge University, the royal palace at Hampton Court and the famous Canterbury Cathedral, which dates back to medieval times. Now available with immediate dispatch, even properties with the tightest deadlines such as those that require urgent roof repair, can benefit from the stunning good looks of Keymer's handmade clay tiles.
