Redland’s Regent tiles and components were selected for the second time by a primary school in Milton Keynes when they wanted to match the roof of an extension to the original building.
Germander Park School was built in the 70’s which makes it one of the first primary schools to be built in the newly formed town of Milton Keynes. During construction of the original school building, the powers that be decided to use
Redland’s Regent tiles to adorn the roof. With that same roof still going strong decades later, the decision was made to use the same tiles for the extension.
Due to a growing deficit in the number of school placements available in Milton Keynes, Germander Park School wanted to add two more classrooms opening up an additional 45 places for the local children.
Roofing Contractor at Russell Roofing, Lee Roberts said: “We were asked to match the roof tiles with the rest of the building, since the original roof had lasted so well and still looked good, we decided to go back to Redland and use the Regent again. The project took a week in total and used 180sqm of Regent tiles along with mono ridge and cloak verge tiles. Having used Redland’s tiles on a number of jobs in the past, I find them very easy to work with and will often recommend them to a client.”
Regent tiles are best known for their durability over extended periods of time whilst maintaining a visually strong aesthetic. Additionally, they are ideal for use on extensions as they can be laid at pitches as low as 12.5Ëš as opposed to the common minimum pitch of 17.5Ëš.
