Learn more about our EcoLogic Ludlow Major Tile! This made-to-order tile is truly one of a kind. Designed with a special titanium dioxide coating, the EcoLogic tile actively absorbs dangerous nitrogen oxide (NOx), a harmful pollutant in the air. In both its forms - nitrogen oxide (NO2) and nitric oxide (NO) - it continues to blight areas of the UK which fail to meet emissions targets, caused in large by traffic pollution.
Emissions that exceed government air quality targets can lead to increased risk of respiratory and lung problems, as well as contributing to breathing problems for people with asthma. The emissions also contribute to climate change.
A roof fitted with EcoLogic tiles can absorb up to the equivalent of 100,000 car miles worth of NOx emissions over its 20 year lifetime.
