Medium Antique roof tiles
Medium Antique roof tiles are part of Tudor’s Traditional range. A coarser grain of Kent sand than our Sussex colours is pressed into the face of each tile before firing, which gives a earth brown tone in keeping with handmade tiles of old.
What Medium Antique looks like
Medium Antique has a earth brown tone. Because every tile is pressed by hand, no two are quite the same shade, so a Medium Antique roof reads as one colour with a gentle, natural variation rather than a flat finish.
How Medium Antique tiles get their colour
A coarser grain of Kent sand than our Sussex colours is pressed into the face of each tile before firing. Fired, it turns a warm earth brown.
Medium Antique, Dark Antique, Red Antique, Jubilee and Weathered Earth make up the Traditional range. Sussex Red and Sussex Brown complement it.
