Redland 49 Concrete Interlocking Tile
The Redland 49 tile is known for its superior weather resistance, making it ideal for coastal locations like Bognor Regis, where strong winds and heavy rain are common. Its interlocking design enhances structural stability, preventing wind uplift and minimising the risk of water penetration. These tiles also have a lightweight profile compared to traditional concrete tiles, reducing the overall load on the roof structure while maintaining their impressive strength and longevity. Available in various colours and textures, they allow homeowners to select a finish that complements the property’s existing aesthetics.
To further protect the roof, we installed a Permavent RED heavy-duty vapour-permeable membrane. This high-performance underlay allows moisture to escape while preventing water ingress, ensuring a well-ventilated and condensation-free roof space. The heavy-duty composition of Permavent RED provides additional strength, making it an excellent choice for areas prone to challenging weather conditions. This breathable membrane helps maintain the integrity of the roofing structure, contributing to a healthier and more energy-efficient home.
For added resilience and protection, we incorporated Code 4 lead flashing around key areas, including the chimney and roof junctions. Lead flashing is a highly durable and flexible material that creates a watertight seal, preventing leaks and water damage. We also installed a box gutter, designed to efficiently channel rainwater away from the roof, reducing the risk of water pooling and potential structural damage. To further enhance weatherproofing, a lead valley and aluminium valley were created, ensuring effective water drainage while adding to the overall durability of the roof.
As part of this project, we installed a Velux window, bringing natural light into the interior space and improving ventilation. Velux windows are known for their high-quality construction, offering excellent thermal insulation and energy efficiency. The addition of this window not only enhances the functionality of the space below but also contributes to the overall aesthetic appeal of the property. The installation was carried out with precision to ensure a secure and watertight fit.
To provide a low-maintenance and durable ridge system, we fitted a dry ridge system with baby ridge tiles. This modern roofing solution eliminates the need for traditional mortar, which can deteriorate over time. Instead, the mechanically fixed dry ridge system ensures long-term security and improved ventilation, preventing moisture build-up in the roof space. The use of baby ridge tiles gives the ridge a sleek and refined appearance while maintaining the same level of protection and durability.
The installation of the chimney flashing was a crucial part of this project, ensuring a watertight seal around the chimney stack. By using Code 4 lead, we provided a long-lasting solution that prevents water ingress and protects the structural integrity of both the chimney and the surrounding roof area. Proper chimney flashing is essential for maintaining the overall performance of the roofing system, particularly in older properties where weathering can cause deterioration over time.
With this expertly crafted new roof in Bognor Regis, the homeowners now have a robust, weather-resistant, and visually appealing roofing system that will stand the test of time. The combination of Redland 49 tiles, Permavent RED membrane, Code 4 lead flashing, box gutter, lead and aluminium valleys, dry ridge system with baby ridge tiles, and a Velux window ensures maximum performance and aesthetic value.
