Marley’s new Lincoln Clay Interlocking Pantile range is available in single coloured Red Smooth, and Rustic Red, which incorporates a flash of dusting to create a more weathered appearance and enhanced kerb-side appeal. Changes have also been made to the texture of the pantile, so it now offers a marked heritage aesthetic, which ensures greater design choice for specifiers such as Tom.

“Creating new builds in well-established locations means we have to be mindful of blending in and collaborate with the planners to ensure we add to the area’s appeal,” explains Tom. “We opted for the Lincoln in the Red Smooth to achieve exactly this, which has provided a really attractive roof that enhances the modern style we were seeking, while still being in-keeping with the other homes in the area.” 

Cadell Beasley, Area Specification Manager at Marley, says: “The new Lincoln delivers a sleek aesthetic and modern appearance, while still carrying the traditional feel of a heritage clay pantile roof. We’ve worked with important suppliers, such as Jewson, to promote the advantages of the new Lincoln, and it’s great to see it now being specified on projects such as the residential development in Gainsborough.”

Production for the new Lincoln has also moved to Keele in Staffordshire from Germany, with the clay used for its manufacture now sourced from nearby quarries. This makes Marley one of the only providers of a British-made clay pantile.

“The decision to transition our production to the UK will deliver environmental benefits too, through a reduction in shipping and transport requirements, and subsequent reductions in associated carbon emissions,” continues Cadell. “It will also provide additional versatility and assurance of product supply for the UK roofing sector.”
