Lombardia Clay Barrel Roof Tile - Leier

Short description

Fired clay barrel roof tile, 34 pieces per square metre. Sold by the square metre.

Full description

Lombardia is a barrel tile, the larger companion to Andalusia: fewer, bigger half-rounds per square metre, which gives a coarser and more emphatic rhythm across the slope. Like the rest of the restoration range, it is made in Sighișoara.

This model is part of the restoration range and the manufacturer does not publish a full data sheet for it. The weight shown is our estimate, taken from the same tile body, and is there so shipping can be calculated — ask us for the manufacturer's data before you specify it on a listed building.

Recommendation

Ask us for the manufacturer's data sheet before specifying this on a listed building — conservation officers will want the published figures, not ours. A barrel roof takes more labour than any flat profile; budget for it, because the tile price is the smaller half of the cost. Order about 5% over the measured area, and more where the roof curves.
