Tudor English Shingle Tile FAQ
What are Tudor tiles?
Tudor tiles are traditional handmade clay roof tiles crafted in England. Each tile is individually made by skilled artisans, giving the roof a unique and highly textured appearance that reflects centuries of British roofing tradition.
Where are Tudor tiles made?
They’re handmade in Staffordshire, England using locally sourced Etruria Marl clay — the same material used for generations in historic English roofing.
What makes Tudor tiles different from machine-made options?
No two Tudor tiles are identical. Subtle variations in shape, texture, and color occur naturally in the handmaking and firing process, creating an organic, weathered look that machine-made tiles can’t replicate.
Are Tudor tiles suitable for heritage projects?
Yes — they’re often used on listed buildings and in conservation areas across the UK and North America. They’re ideal for restorations, period-style new builds, and any project that values authenticity.
Can Tudor tiles be used on vertical surfaces?
Yes — like all plain shingle tiles, Tudor tiles can be installed vertically for gables, dormers, and wall features, adding depth and character to any design.
Do Tudor tiles meet modern performance standards?
Absolutely. Despite their handmade nature, Tudor tiles are frost-resistant, durable, and tested to meet ASTM standards — combining traditional beauty with modern reliability.

ABOUT TUDOR ROOF TILES
Tudor clay roof tiles represent a direct link to centuries of English craftsmanship. Their use dates back to the late medieval period and became especially prominent during the Tudor era, when steeply pitched roofs, tall chimneys, and handcrafted details defined the architectural style. These tiles continue to be favored not only for their historic accuracy but also for their ability to add texture and depth to any roofline.
Because they’re made by hand, Tudor tiles naturally vary in tone and finish, creating rich color movement across the roof that feels organic and time-worn. This makes them an ideal choice for architects and homeowners seeking a lived-in, heritage look—whether restoring a historic property or designing a new build with traditional charm.
Northern Roof Tiles proudly imports genuine handmade Tudor tiles, ensuring clients have access to authentic, small-format roof tiles that honor the craftsmanship of the past while meeting the performance demands of today’s roofing systems.
