Georgian Roof Tiles in Buckinghamshire
Georgian Roof Tiles
Get the right look with our Georgian roof tiles
Flat tile roofs with Georgian roof tiles offer a more contemporary and minimalist look compared to barrel tile, also known as S-type or Spanish tiled roofs. This makes them more suitable for the modern architectural styles and design preferences that appear to be prevalent in today's building trade. Additionally, flat Georgian roof tiles typically provide better protection against water infiltration due to their smooth surface and tight interlocking design. After all, there is nothing worse than water making its way into your property. Water ingress is responsible for massive amounts of damage to properties. If the leak is particularly bad, you can end up with damage to the entire fabric of the building as well as your interior furnishings. Small leaks can go unnoticed for a very long time, and by the time they have been detected, irreparable damage may have been done to wooden rafters and wall plaster.
In contrast, barrel tile roofs tend to offer more charm and character, often affording the property with a sense of timeless elegance. While they may require additional maintenance to ensure proper waterproofing and prevent unwanted accumulation of debris within the curved tiles, barrel tiles can add a very distinctive look to many architectural designs. Having said that, they tend not to look as sleek and unified as the flat Georgian roof tiles that have become so popular again in the construction industry.
What is so good about flat Georgian roof tiles?
There is no denying that flat Georgian roof tiles make for a very distinctive and appealing property, but what specifically is so good about them?
Flat Georgian roof tiles have incredible durability. Flat tile roofs are well recognised for their durability and longevity. They are capable of withstanding very harsh weather conditions, including wind, rain, hail, and even sustained UV exposure.
Flat Georgian roof tiles offer a very sleek and modern appearance, enhancing the overall look and architectural style of residential and commercial buildings.
Because Georgian roof tiles are manufactured from natural clay, they are inherently fire-resistant. After all, the Georgian roof tiles were created in kilns, so they are bound to provide added safety and protection against fire hazards.
Flat tile roofs with Georgian roof tiles can help regulate indoor temperatures better by reflecting sunlight and reducing heat absorption, leading to much lower energy costs for cooling. Research has suggested that properties with these flat roof tiles require less air conditioning than properties with many other types of roofing materials installed.
Our flat Georgian roof tiles are very low maintenance tiles. Once they are installed, our Georgian roof tiles require minimal maintenance, with periodic inspections and cleaning to ensure optimal performance. The build up of lichens and some moss can even enhance the aesthetic appeal of the tiles still further. However, those who prefer a spotlessly clean roof can choose to have their Georgian roof tiles cleaned professionally, or even with one of the excellent spray and leave preparations that are available today.
A little information about Buckinghamshire
Marlow in Buckinghamshire
Marlow in Buckinghamshire used to be called Great Marlow or Chipping Marlow. The town is a town in Buckinghamshire. It is located on the River Thames, only four miles south-southwest of High Wycombe.
Where the Buckinghamshire town gets its name from
The Buckinghamshire town's name is recorded in 1015 as Mere lafan, meaning "Land left after the draining of a pond" in Old English. Nobody seems to know how big the original pond was, but was more likely to have been a lake than a pond.
From Norman times the manor, parish, and later borough were formally known as Great Marlow, distinguishing them from Little Marlow. The ancient Buckinghamshire parish was large, including rural areas north and west of the town.
History of the Buckinghamshire town
Marlow is recorded in the Domesday Book as Merlaue. The manor of Marlow in Buckinghamshire had also belonged to the Earls of Mercia, after it was gifted to them by William the Conqueror. Henry the First bestowed the Buckinghamshire town on his natural son, Robert de Melhent, afterwards Earl of Gloucester, from whom it passed, with that title, to the Clares and Despencers, and from the latter, by female heirs, to the Beauchamps and Nevilles, Earls of Warwick.
The Buckinghamshire town continued under crown ownership from the time of Richard III's marriage with Anne Neville, until Queen Mary granted it to William Lord Paget, in whose family it continued for more than a century; after which, it passed, by purchase, to Sir Humphrey Winch, in 1670; to Lord Falkland in 1686; to Sir James Etheridge in 1690; to Sir John Guise in 1718; and to Sir William Clayton in 1736. It is now the property of Sir William Clayton.
Like many other settlements, the Buckinghamshire town owed its importance to its location on the River Thames, where the road from Reading to High Wycombe crosses the river. It had its own market by 1227, although the market lapsed before 1600. Marlow's status as a regional commercial centre was present even before the first bridge in this area was built in the 13th century due to the settlement acting as an inland port.
A 14th century hall, known as 'The Old Parsonage' built in Marlow on St Peters Street is currently the oldest inhabited building in Buckinghamshire.
From 1301 to 1307, the Buckinghamshire town had its own Member of Parliament, and it returned two members from 1624 to 1867.
