Bring authentic French craftsmanship and traditional character to your roof with the Edilians Phalempin 17x27 Plain Tile in Amber. Produced at the historic Phalempin works in northern France (a site with tile-making heritage dating back to 1860), this classic double-lapped clay plain tile combines the mellow, textured appearance of mature handmade tiles with modern performance and consistency. The Amber colour offers a warm, natural tone that weathers beautifully and suits both period refurbishments and quality new-build projects. Unique anti-capillary channels enhance water-tightness, allowing reliable use on pitches as low as 30°.
