Description
A double pantile design with elegant flowing lines, instant visual appeal and exceptional strength with the ability to perform at pitches as low as 15°. The Mendip interlocking tile is available in 7 stylish colours, and is a popular choice with discerning specifiers and builders alike.
Mendip interlocking tiles can now perform at extended rafter lengths. See guidance below:
15° – 17.5° pitch with a rafter length up to and including 10m will require a 100mm headlap
17.5° pitch and above with a rafter length up to and including 10m will require a 75mm headlap
All of our concrete interlocking tiles can achieve an ‘A+’ rating (the lowest environmental impact) in the Building Research Establishment’s Green Guide to Specification (* element ref: 812410007, 812410018, 812410049).
Accreditation to the BES 6001 framework standard for ‘Responsible Sourcing’ means that projects using our concrete tiles can now achieve extra credits under BREEAM and the Home Quality Mark (HQM). Click here to find out more.
