The Thin Leading Edge (TLE) system from Sandtoft represents a serious challenge to the perception of concrete as heavy and unwieldy, with the manufacturer claiming to deliver the thinnest and lightest concrete tile available for use in a myriad selection of roof designs.
The large format tiles are part of a full installation system that includes the membrane underneath the tiles, the dry fix mechanical solutions, ventilation and the ridge and hip fittings. The tiles are half the thickness of some alternative concrete tiles, while their lightweight nature has been designed to contribute to easy installation — all without any compromise on aesthetic appearance.
