 Roofing manufacturer, Marley Eternit, is to expand its Hawkins clay plain tiles range with the introduction of a new colour, Blue Smooth.
The addition of the new colour means that the Hawkins range is now available in Staffordshire Blue, Staffordshire Mixtrue, Dark Heather and the new Blue Smooth.
Marley Eternit reports it has achieved an 'A' rating for its clay plain roof tiles in the BRE's Green Guide to Specification. This allows specifiers to obtain environmental credits for buildings under the BREEAM and Eco Homes schemes. Marley Eternit has made an investment of £19 million at its clay plain tiles facility in Keele, Staffordshire, as part of its on-going commitment to making clay an affordable option. By adapting manufacturing processes to improve efficiency and cutting carbon emissions, the company hopes to change the perception that clay tiles are unsustainable and expensive.
Marley Eternit marketing manager, Sarah Hanlon, said: "This new colour gives specifiers the opportunity to create a quality finish, which is continually underlined by PPS3."
