The Marley Mendip is an extremely popular profile that is not unique to this tile. Competitors such as Redland have a similar design. This tile is made from concrete with a choice of seven surface colours with either smooth or granular finishes. The smooth variant can be used on shallow roof pitches, down to a minimum of 15°.

This is popular due to it’s double pantile look and is similar to the competing Redland Grovebury tiles.

Marley Mendip tiles are available in the following colours:

• Antique Brown
• Anthracite
• Dark Red
• Smooth Grey
• Smooth Brown
• Old English Dark Red
• Mosborough Red

Coverage

The tile measures 420mm x 330mm and that gives a nominal width coverage of 298mm.

You can expect to lay 9.7 tiles per square metre if laid with a 75mm headlap. That figure increases to 10.5 tiles per square metre if laid with a 100mm headlap.

Weight

If laid with a 75mm headlap the weight per square metre will be 46kg. If laid with a 100mm headlap expect a weight of 49kg per square metre.

Fixings

Each tile has a pre-drilled fixing hole for a 70mm x 3.35mm tile nail.

Battens should be centred every 450mm for 38mm x 25mm batten and every 600mm for every 50mm x 25mm.

Batten requirements will therefore be 2.9 linear metres for every square metre of roof if laid with a 75mm headlap. 3.1 linear metres of batten per square metre of roof if laid with a 100mm headlap.
