Weathered Earth roof tiles
Weathered Earth 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 dark chocolate tone in keeping with handmade tiles of old.
What Weathered Earth looks like
Weathered Earth has a dark chocolate tone. Because every tile is pressed by hand, no two are quite the same shade, so a Weathered Earth roof reads as one colour with a gentle, natural variation rather than a flat finish.
How Weathered Earth 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 dark chocolate brown.
Medium Antique, Dark Antique, Red Antique, Jubilee and Weathered Earth make up the Traditional range. Sussex Red and Sussex Brown complement it.
