Dreadnought Classic

Staffordshire Handformed Plain Clay Roof Tiles

Guardians of Tradition

After a 25 year gap Dreadnought have re-launched their Classic Handformed clay tile range.  Dreadnought handmade tiles were produced until the 1980's and our handformed tiles have been crafted to be a close match to tiles manufactured in our Works since 1805.  The range of colours made today appeared in Dreadnought's first brochure published in 1920 and are a truly classic product.

Dreadnought Classic Tiles are Handformed with variations in texture and shape that impart a special character to a roof.  These tiles are all naturally coloured without the use of pigments stains or additives as we passionately believe in the superior aesthetic of true burnt clay colours.

A Dreadnought Classic Handformed clay roof is one of the most beautiful and charming roofs you can own.

These images shown here are of Dreadnought Roofs laid as far back as 1925 and they are all still in excellent condition today.
