Lower costs, cut completion times and reduce CO2 with the innovative 20/20 Interlocking clay plain tile
The 20/20 is a New Generation clay tile that makes a clay plain tile roof more
affordable through an innovative design that will reduce labour and material costs,
and cut completion times.
These benefits also translate into a significant reduction of CO2 emitted per roof because CO2 emissions are proportional to the tonnage of clay extracted, processed, dried
and fired. The design of the 20/20 means less material is used compared to traditional
plain tiles and therefore a corresponding saving in the CO2 emitted per roof is achieved. In addition choosing 20/20 cuts the number of
battens required per m2 of roof area by 60% further reducing the use of materials and lorry movements.
When this reduction is combined with Sandtoft’s use of 100% green electricity,
20/20 has the capacity to reduce the carbon footprint of a roof by a massive 50%.
Low Pitch Performance
The 20/20 is not only cost effective it will also perform down a minimum pitch
of 15°. Manufactured from natural alluvial clay, using the latest ceramic technology,
the 20/20 is a high performance interlocking clay tile that has been designed
to withstand extreme weather conditions. Following extensive wind tunnel testing
the minimum pitch of the 20/20 has now been lowered from 22.5° to 15° degrees
at 100mm headlap (see technical data)
This low pitch performance means that the 20/20 provides the perfect solution
for low pitch extension work. It is now possible to complement clay plain tile
roofs (which have a minimum pitch of 35°) with a natural roof covering on the
low pitch elevations. The 20/20 is also available in a natural slate colour (Antique
Slate) which enables it to complement natural slate roofs.
