# English Dark Oak roof tiles

English Dark Oak roof tiles are part of Tudor’s English Oak range (2025). English Dark Oak is made from Etruria Marl clay, hand-pressed and kiln-fired by traditional methods, for subtle variation, rich texture and a natural patina, which gives a deep brown tone suited to period and heritage buildings.

## What English Dark Oak looks like

English Dark Oak has a deep brown tone. Because every tile is pressed by hand, no two are quite the same shade, so a English Dark Oak roof reads as one colour with a gentle, natural variation rather than a flat finish.

## Inspired by 18th-century peg tiles
