A new build development in the rural village of Owmby-by-Spittal near Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, is using a combination of Marley roofing products to create a stunning family home.

Bringing together the aesthetic appeal, heritage and robust performance of Marley’s Lincoln Clay Pantile, with the renewable technology advantages of its integrated Marley SolarTile ® solution, has delivered a striking detached house, which will also provide the property owners with sustainability benefits into the future.

With the project situated in rural Lincolnshire, the developer, Jamie Marshall, was keen to ensure the roofscape design fitted perfectly within the surrounding vernacular. This underpinned the selection of Marley’s Lincoln Clay Pantile in a rustic red colourway, as it perfectly complemented a secondary specified roof tile, the Acme clay plain tile in a Red Smooth colour.

Cadell Beasley, Area Specification Manager for Marley, says the roof tile selection works perfectly: “The Lincoln and Acme tiles are perfectly in keeping with what is traditionally seen in the Lincolnshire area.

“In particular, the Lincoln Clay Pantile, with its s-curve profile and thin leading edge, is an ideal match for the existing properties located nearby. The Rustic Red colourway also incorporates a flash of dusting to create a more weathered appearance and enhanced kerb-side appeal, ensuring that the new development is a memorable and complementary addition to the area.”

Integrated solar solution

The new build project has also taken advantage of modern renewable technology solutions, thanks to the inclusion of an integrated solar PV specification. In addition to its Lincoln pantiles and Acme plain tiles, Marley has also supplied eight 335Wp solar PV. They have been fitted directly onto the roof, replacing a section of tiles, to provide a seamless and fully integrated finish.

The solar PV array will allow the new property owner to access renewable energy via the roof, which will help to address energy efficiency and lower household energy bills.

Jamie Marshall comments: “Being able to work with Marley to source its outstanding clay pantile and plain tile solutions, as well as the solar PV array, all from a single source, has been very helpful in achieving a fully integrated roof system finish.

“We’ve been able to deliver the best of both worlds – by combining the aesthetic appeal and proven performance of traditional clay tiles, along with the undoubted sustainability and future proofing benefits that solar PV provides. I’m delighted with the final roofscape we’ve been able to create together.”
