- Wienerberger UK and Ireland have launched the ‘Sandtoft in-roof Solar’ roof tile.
- The new solar product will build on Wienerberger’s existing concrete and clay tiles portfolio.
Wienerberger UK and Ireland have launched ‘Sandtoft in-roof Solar’, a brand-new roof tile which provides housebuilders with a seamlessly integrated solar energy source, helping them meet the requirements of recent Part L legislation and future-proofing new homes for the Future Homes Standard 2025.
In a significant move for the manufacturer, the new Sandtoft In-Roof Solar product will build on Wienerberger’s existing portfolio of concrete and clay tiles.
When offered alongside the company’s range of brick, block, and façade systems, this uniquely positions Wienerberger to provide solutions for the full building envelope through both Fabric and Technology options, with a combination of these helping housebuilders to meet their energy efficiency and carbon reduction targets. The in-roof integrated panels are applied directly to the roof battens, incorporating an interlocking design to speed up the installation process. The single-lapped panels have also been developed to reflect the aesthetic of a traditional tiled roof and are fully compatible with all clay and concrete tiles.
