Matthew Hebden

Matthew Hebden has been supplying materials to the UK roofing trade for 16 years through an expanding series of partnerships with overseas producers.

Initially formed to promote the Tegola range of asphalt shingle roof tiles, the Prestige Copper clad asphalt shingles range was added to the portfolio.

Innovation, through product development and fast effective service to our customers has been the key to our success.

Tegola tiles are produced to ISO 9001 by Europe’s largest manufacturer of asphalt shingles, producing over 2,500m2 per hour and exporting to over 43 countries throughout the world.
They have also been awarded ISO 14001 certification, proving that the production is consistent with environmental protection and that the product does not damage the environment.
Tegola tiles are lightweight and are suitable for roofing and wall cladding, from very low pitches to vertical, and their flexibility makes them suited to curves and complex roof shapes.
Tegola tiles are produced to standards higher than the British and European standard BS EN 544 with Premium, Traditional, Mosaik, Master and Prestige meeting Class 1.

Tegola tiles are made from a glass fibre mat, with a weight up to 125gm/m2. This gives high mechanical strength, in excess of any international standards. The fibre is pre-impregnated with bitumen to eliminate moisture or cavities within the mat. Further bitumen, which is carefully selected to ensure product stability and resistance to temperature fluctuations, is then added. Silicon sand is added to the underside and the top surface is coated with Tegolas own ceramic granules, whose colour is guaranteed not to fade. A special thermo-setting adhesive is then applied, which sticks the leading edges of the tiles down, and the material is then cut to the shape required.

Accessories Roof ventilators, eaves and verge trims and Bitustick adhesive, are available.

Shape Tegola tiles are supplied as a flexible strip of 3-5 tiles, depending on the style, which is normally nailed directly to a timber deck.

Dimensions The strip size is 1000 x 340mm and details of the exposure, the distance between the courses, and pack sizes are shown in the data table.

Weight The installed weight, including overlaps, varies from 8 to 16kgs/m2 depending on style, as shown in the data table. This makes them suitable for lighter, more economic, structures.

Appearance Tegola produce their own granules and so can tailor-make to customer requirements. The range includes slate, clay, stone and wood colours as well as our copper clad Prestige tile. Styles include the square cut Premium, the hexagonal Mosaik, the round edged Traditional, and the twoply Master.

Prestige is durable and solid but also flexible, for this reason it is the ideal product for the realisation of classic and modern roofs.

Appearance Prestige tiles will quickly lose their bright appearance when exposed to the atmosphere.The copper will weather through its bronze tone to the eventual green patina, which in marine atmospheres can take 5 years, but in more rural locations can take over 20 years. A pre-patinated version of Elite and Compact is available.

Why choose copper?

Beauty  The beauty of copper from it’s initial bright appearance, weathering gradually to mellow bronze tones, through to it’s rich green patina, provide the aesthetic reason for choosing copper.

Environment  The weathering process produces a protective layer, which gives the material it’s long maintenance free life in all atmospheric conditions.

Copper is a natural mineral that is non-toxic and presents no risks to humans, animals or plants. It does not pollute the environment and can be fully recycled for future use.

Durability  With it’s durability and aesthetic appeal, copper is often used on prestige buildings and so is thought of as a premium material. However, it’s long life, no maintenance costs, and recyclability make it a very competitive roofing material over it’s life span.
