Dreadnought: Bringing Individuality to Contemporary Design

Founded in 1805 in the West Midlands, Dreadnought Tiles is renowned for the fine quality, durability, and traditional aesthetic of its plain clay rooftiles.

They are the only manufacturer to produce natural clay colours the age-old way, solely by controlling the kiln atmosphere, and their subtle reds, brindles, and Staffordshire blues cannot be replicated using modern stains and pigments.

Made from exceptionally durable Etruria marl clay, these tiles become even more characterful over time.

Whilst much sought after for restoring older properties, Dreadnought plain clay tiles add tremendous value and individuality to contemporary self-builds.

You can find Dreadnought in the Roof Zone & Brick Library at the Centre.

Friends Bradley Dodic and Billy Parsons took a fabric-first approach to modernise their 1930s semi-detached home in Exhall, Warwickshire, resulting in improved thermal comfort, enhanced acoustics and a marked uplift in energy efficiency.

Faced with rising energy costs and a house in need of complete renovation, the pair prioritised insulation as a core component of their build strategy.
