Description

Creasing tiles have a variety of uses from traditional tile corbelling to verge tile undercloaking, wall cappings and copings, drip courses for window sills and chimney detailing.

Acme creasing tiles are single cambered clay plain tiles, manufactured without any nail holes or nibs. Technically they are a roof tile, but they can be used like a brick.

Outstanding durability, low water absorption and a high frost resistance make them suitable for even the most challenging applications, such as freestanding walls and parapets.

Their clean crisp lines and small unit size also make them ideal for creating architectural details, including decorative quoins and arches in brick and stone work. Available in Red Smooth.
