July Cottage

Located in the picturesque village of Great Chesterford, July Cottage recently underwent an extension project to create a stunning new annex building. With the owners looking to blend traditional roofing aesthetics with a refreshed and contemporary finish, the project provided the perfect opportunity to showcase Marley’s new Autumn Brindle colourway from its Acme Single Camber clay plain tile range.

Choosing the right tile

White Roofing Services Ltd, the project’s roofing contractors, needed to find the perfect roof tile to bring the owner’s vision for the new annex to life; while ensuring it was in-keeping with the existing property. Having worked with Marley for over 20 years, the contractors requested a sample of its new Autumn Brindle Single Camber clay plain tile.

Ryan Farrington, Director at White Roofing Services, said: “The client was instantly impressed with the rich, varied tones, and the way the Autumn Brindle tile complemented the existing house and surrounding environment.”

Following the sample request, the decision was made to specify Marley’s Autumn Brindle tiles across the annex’s 140m2 roof.

Ryan added: “With the tile offering a variety of tones, not only did they look great, but because they were machine made, they were also straightforward to install – making it easy to achieve a consistent finish.

“And the end result speaks for itself – a beautiful extension that fits perfectly with the character of July Cottage.”

Commitment to quality and sustainability

Manufactured in the UK using the high-quality, natural Staffordshire Etruria Marl clay, Marley’s Autumn Brindle tiles not only offer a traditional, eye-catching aesthetic, but also ensure durability and long-lasting performance.

Simon Nicholls, Area Specification Manager for Marley said: “The Acme Single Camber tiles are lightweight, yet highly durable, making them an excellent choice for both new builds and refurbishments, such as July Cottage. The precision-moulded single camber profile also offers exceptional water-shedding properties, ensuring long-lasting performance.”

Recognising the importance of sustainability, Marley also offers Environmental Product Declarations across its entire clay, and concrete tile ranges, together with its existing Marley SolarTile® EPD. EPDs provide contractors and specifiers with the information they need to make environmentally responsible product choices. Accredited to the BES 6001 Framework Standard for Responsible Sourcing, also means that projects using Marley’s Acme Single Camber clay tiles can get extra credits under BREEAM.

As Marley continues to innovate and expand its range of roofing solutions, the Autumn Brindle colourway is already proving to be a popular choice amongst roofers and homeowners alike. With its ease of application, rich natural tones and seamless integration with traditional and modern homes, it stands as a testament to Marley’s dedication to quality.
