Russet Brown roof tiles
Russet Brown roof tiles are part of Tudor’s Romney urban colours. A Kent sand is pressed into the face of each tile before firing, which gives a mellow brown tone in keeping with handmade tiles of old.
What Russet Brown looks like
Russet Brown has a mellow brown tone. Because every tile is pressed by hand, no two are quite the same shade, so a Russet Brown roof reads as one colour with a gentle, natural variation rather than a flat finish.
How Russet Brown tiles get their colour
A Kent sand is pressed into the face of each tile before firing. Fired, it gives a mellow brown.
Made for towns and cities
Russet Brown and Rustic Red make up our Romney colours, developed for urban roofscapes, where new roofs sit among older town houses.
