Russell Roof Tiles has supported a new Bloor Homes development with its roof system, which includes concrete roof tiles, dry fix system, ventilation products, fixings and, for this project, the RussFast Low-Resistance (LR) Underlay.
The manufacturer has provided the private housing project with a rural roof look whilst meeting the developers’ necessary sustainable credentials to enable them to provide energy-efficient homes.
The scheme, called The Paddocks, is located in the village of Ash Green near Guildford. It is due to be complete by 2026 and is set to provide 93 one-to five-bed properties.
For The Paddocks development, the manufacturers Lothian 145 tiles in Autumn Stone, Burnt Orange and Slate Grey were specified to provide the appearance of small format tiles.
By utilising the full suite of Russell Roof Tiles products, Bloor Homes were able to take advantage of the manufacturer’s 15-year RussSpec Guarantee. A statement said this provides peace of mind and quality assurance in line with current British Standards, Codes of Practice and building regulations.
The statement added that the new Bloor Homes scheme has a sustainable focus, which extends to the use of high-performance materials to help reduce overall carbon footprint and enable homes to ‘grow’ with their natural surroundings.
Concrete roof tiles, such as those provided by Russell Roof Tiles, are known for their energy-efficient manufacturing process, it noted, which helps to reduce the overall environmental impact of the construction process. Typically, they require less energy for production than their clay counterparts, amounting to a 30% reduction in energy usage.
The RussFast LR Underlay specified for this site, provides a high level of vapour permeability, the statement said. This helps to avoid the risk of harmful condensation, it cited, whilst remaining completely airtight.
Michael Palmer, area sales manager at Russell Roof Tiles, said: “Russell Roof Tiles is proud to be continuing to support Bloor Homes with big projects across the south. We worked closely with the developer to assess their needs and agreed that our comprehensive roof solution would be the ideal approach. By specifying our complete roof system, Bloor Homes can trust that the roofs at The Paddocks will be built with consistently high-quality products, all backed by our 15-year guarantee.”
John Lofthouse, commercial director at Bloor Homes Southern, added: “Over the years, we’ve partnered with Russell Roof Tiles on several projects, and their ability to deliver tailored solutions has always stood out. Their team is responsive and easy to work with, quickly understanding our needs and streamlining the specification process.”
