Marley Eternit is the first roof tile manufacturer in the UK to achieve a coveted ‘A’ rating from the Building Research Establishment (BRE) for its clay plain tiles. The company’s entire UK manufactured product portfolio is now ‘A’ rated.
The rating comes following the company's £19 million investment in a new clay production facility at Keele, which opened last autumn. The plant set out to make tiles in a more sustainable way by significantly reducing waste and energy consumption. The energy used for firing the tiles has been reduced by 20% compared with previous kilns, and significantly less waste is sent to landfill.
