New mixed brindle clay tile

The Acme Mixed Brindle has a red-brown base and weathered appearance to create a brindle colour for either refurbishments or new builds.

 The new tile has been developed to offer specifiers, contractors and merchants a cost-effective, brindle clay plain tile in a traditional single camber.

“Each of the new Acme tiles has subtle variations from light to dark, giving them an authentic brindle effect,” says Marley Eternit marketing product manager Sarah Jackson. “These subtle mixed brindle clay plain tiles offer wide ranging but delicate differences of hue and colour, so that although every individual tile is different, together they create a harmonious beautiful roof.”

The Acme Mixed Brindle claims a ‘very good’ rating under the BES 6001 Responsible Sourcing standard and an A+ rating in the BRE Green Guide to Specification.

Ms Jackson continues: “Using Marley Eternit products offers the combined benefits of up to six environmental credits with the A+ rating and our BES 6001 Responsible Sourcing accreditation of 'Very Good’ for single camber clay plain tiles. Marley Eternit is the only roofing manufacturer to have verified our carbon footprint with the Carbon Trust for our range of roofing products and Acme single camber clay plain tiles have a carbon footprint of 27.0 CO2e /m² (based on 100mm gauge).

 “In addition, all of our Acme single camber clay plain tiles also have the added advantage that they can be used at pitches as low as 30^o, instead of the market standard of 35^o.”

 Marley Eternit’s clay plain tile range now comes in 21 different colours and textures.
