Ashbury Standards

ASHBURY hand-made clay roof tiles are tested regularly to ensure they comply with the relevant UK standards.

They are independently tested by CERAM® Building Technology and have passed:
BSEN538:1994 for strength
BSEN539-2:1998 for resistance to frost damage
BSEN539-1:1994 for impermeability to water

Each tile passes through a rigorous inspection procedure to ensure only quality tiles leave the factory.
