2008 Clay Roofing Awards

 

It’s natural, it’s British and it’s time to celebrate all that’s best about the clay roof tile industry, with the launch of the 2008 Clay Roofing Awards.

 

The biennial awards, organised by the Clay Roof Tile Council (CRTC), have become an established event in the UK’s roofing calendar.

 

Not only does the competition highlight the environmental benefits of clay, it promotes its versatility, durability and sheer good looks while at the same time recognising innovative uses of clay roof tiles.

 

The event is organised by the Clay Roof Tile Council (CRTC), which has made some important changes to the 2008 event, adding new categories, including an overall ‘best in show’.

 

Categories:

• Housing – Best New-Build Clay Roof and Best Refurbishment Clay Roof
• Commercial – Best New-Build Clay Roof and Best Refurbishment Clay Roof
• Ecclesiastical - Best New-Build Clay Roof and Best Refurbishment Clay Roof
• Self-Build – Best Self-Build Clay Roof

 

From these seven winners, an overall ‘best in show’ will be selected.

 

Judging will begin in April, with short-listed projects visited before final decisions are made. Specification, design features, workmanship and the overall look of the roof will all be considered, together with any specific technical issues that were overcome.
