Clay Bricks

What is a clay brick and why is it better than other bricks or building materials?

Clay bricks have been made from clay that is shaped then fired making it one of the strongest building materials. Clay bricks have many advantages over other bricks. Not only are they stronger and last longer but they also have a more aesthetic appeal. Here are some of the pros of clay bricks:

  • Stronger and more durable – clay bricks last much longer
  • Increase the value of your home because of their longevity and strength
  • Safer – clay bricks are fireproof and can withstand extreme weather conditions
  • Require less maintenance – clay bricks are built to last
  • Pleasing to the eye – they come in different colours and varieties and give a sense of permanence to your home or building
  • They complement the look and feel of other building materials such as stone and timber
  • Energy saving – clay bricks keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter

Concrete Tiles

I would like a custom coloured roof tile, can you provide me with a sample before I purchase?

YES, we certainly can. Beta has a wide range of custom colour options that customers can choose from.

Why are BETA concrete roofing tiles better than other roofing materials in the market?

Concrete roofs tiles are stronger than other roofing materials and they last much longer and they also require much less maintenance. Because Beta concrete roof tiles are made out of natural materials, they are also environmentally friendly. Concrete roof tiles do not rot and with our smooth finish and through colour they not only look great but also don’t fade and can withstand all types of weather conditions.

How long will the colour of my tiles last and do I need to recolour them?

Beta concrete tiles all have a through colour. This means that efflorescence (a type of discolouration) is reduced and colour durability increases. Simply put, the period in which the colour of our concrete roof tiles does not fade is much longer and you do not need to recolour them. The smooth finish of our concrete roof tiles also keeps the colour from fading through wind abrasion.

What are your standard concrete roof tile dimensions?

Mendip Tiles:
420mm (Length) x 330mm (Width) x 10mm (Thickness)

Double Roman Tiles:
420mm (Length) x 330mm (Width) x 10mm (Thickness)
