Handmade Clay Tiles
Keep warm or cool with handmade roof tiles
Our handmade roof tiles offer amazing insulation for your home. Unique in design, handmade roof tiles have excellent heat retention properties, ensuring high thermal insulation throughout your home. They act as a natural air conditioner, helping to maintain a consistent temperature inside whilst also providing heat protection in the hotter weather. When air circulates above and below handmade roof tiles, an insulating air cushion becomes trapped between the roof and the tiles; this enhances the insulating functionality of the whole roof structure. Handmade roof tiles help to keep your home at a more comfortable temperature, which means that you can spend less on energy bills, an important consideration these days.
Handmade roof tiles are eco-friendly
Because our handmade roof tiles are produced from a natural material, they offer superb environmental benefits both through manufacturing and after installation. Due to their eco-friendly composition, handmade roof tiles create no harmful gases during the manufacturing process. What's more, with an impressive lifespan of over a century, handmade roof tiles are very sustainable, lessening the amount of materials and energy used in comparison to alternative roofing materials that require frequent replacement. When the roof is no longer required, handmade roof tiles do not create damaging waste as they can be easily recycled into new tiles.
Our handmade roof tiles are weather resistant
We've already stated that handmade roof tiles have impressive longevity and durability. They are also extremely resistant to the effects of weathering, standing up to even high winds of up to two hundred miles per hour. Our handmade roof tiles also easily shrug off snow and heavy downpours of rain and hail. Whilst alternative roofing materials expand and contract to a much higher degree, handmade roof tiles help maintain the integrity of the roof, enduring both extreme hot and cold weather conditions. In the event that extreme weather does break or detach some tiles, repairing and replacing them is very quick and easy. Handmade roof tiles are not just great for the long and punishing British winters. They are also able to withstand and resist strong ultra-violet radiation from constant sun exposure when the summer comes around, good to know, particularly as we seem to be experiencing more extreme heat in the United Kingdom these days.
A little information about Oxfordshire
Churchill and royal connection to Woodstock in Oxfordshire
Woodstock is a famous market town in West Oxfordshire in the county of Oxfordshire.
Blenheim Palace, a grand building connected to the Churchill family is next to Woodstock, in the parish of Blenheim. Winston Churchill was born in the palace in 1874 and buried in the nearby village of Bladon. Edward, elder son of King Edward III and heir apparent, was born in Woodstock Manor on 15 June 1330. In his lifetime he was commonly called Edward of Woodstock, but is known today as the Black Prince. In the reign of Queen Mary I, her half-sister Elizabeth, later to become the legendary Queen Elizabeth I, was imprisoned in the gatehouse of Woodstock Manor.
History of Woodstock in Oxfordshire
The name Woodstock is Old English in origin, meaning a 'dwelling in the woods'. The Domesday Book of 1086 describes Woodstock as a royal forest, most probably used for hunting. Aethelred the Unready, king of England, is said to have held an assembly at the Oxfordshire town of Woodstock at which he issued a legal code now known as IX Aethelred. King Henry I may have kept a menagerie in the park. Woodstock was the scene of King Henry II's courtship of Rosamund Clifford. The market of the Oxfordshire town was established when King Henry II gave Woodstock a Royal charter in 1179. The Bear Hotel in Park Street opposite The Oxfordshire Museum dates from the 13th century.
In the Hundred Rolls of 1279 Woodstock is described as a vill, but a burgess is alluded to in the same document, and the Oxfordshire town returned two members to parliament as a borough in 1302 and 1305. The earliest known municipal charter was that from Henry VI in 1453, establishing the vill of New Woodstock a free borough, with a merchant guild, and incorporating the burgesses under the title of the 'Mayor and Commonalty of the Vill of New Woodstock.' The borough was exempted from sending representatives to parliament, but started to return two members in the 16th century.
The Oxfordshire town beloved of English royalty
Near the village was Woodstock Palace, a sprawling residence that was extremely popular with several English kings throughout the medieval period. The building was destroyed in the English Civil War. Some years later the Oxfordshire palace remains were cleared for the building of Blenheim Palace.
From the 16th century the Oxfordshire town prospered by making gloves. In the 17th century the town was altered greatly, when the 1st Duke of Marlborough became a permanent resident. The town has a successful fine steelwork industry by 1720 and by 1742 its products were of high enough quality to be considered viable diplomatic gifts. By the end of the 18th century this had developed into cut steel jewellery. Today the Oxfordshire town is largely dependent on tourists, many of whom visit Blenheim Palace and the burial site of Sir Winston Churchill.
