The company was so impressed by the results that it extended the relationship to Parker Court in Staffordshire. The two developments required different roofing solutions to complement the architecture of the buildings. The Russell range includes a selection of high quality concrete roof tiles, ridge tiles and systems in a choice of colours and finishes to meet the demands of most applications.

Offering the practicalities of roof ventilation, the Russvent concrete tile ventilator from Russell Roof Tiles also has the aesthetics and ease of installation of a normal roof tile. Russvent is designed for ventilation of roof space, and Soil Vent Pipe or mechanical vent extract, complementing the Russell Imperial Range in addition to the Grampian Tile from the Commercial range. The company claims to be the only manufacturer to produce concrete vent tiles with an inline plastic vent inset into the tile. They are installed using the same fixing techniques as the main tiles, resulting in a flush vent that weathers at the same rate as surrounding tiles, giving a long-lasting uniform appearance as the roof ages.
