When local restrictions grant planning permission only to projects that respect the tradition and architectural character of the surrounding area, finding the right product, both in terms of regulatory compliance and performance accreditations, is crucial.
Below, we explore how the architect Mike Marlow set out to harmonise the needs of a present-day household while respecting the vernacular style found in the village of Carlby.
Local stone cladding, UK-made clay pantiles, and an integrated solar PV panel solution underpinned the recent development on Church Street.
The aesthetic considerations central to the project’s success had to be balanced with current regulations surrounding EPC ratings, as well as taking into account the aspect of cost-effectiveness.
As a result of product research, the design team chose to mix the old with the new and brought a modern spin to a traditional build while providing the necessary peace of mind that the products selected provided regulatory, planning and energy efficiency compliance.
“The property is situated in the middle of a small village, and the surrounding dwellings are all in-keeping with the traditional look seen in such locations around Lincolnshire. I wanted to ensure that the new property would sit seamlessly alongside these, and this dictated the choice of materials used throughout the project, including the roofing design.”

The Lincoln Clay Interlocking Pantile
Our British-made Lincoln Pantile is ideal for both new-build and refurbishment projects, as it can be installed on roofs down to 15° and integrates with the Marley SolarTile® for a flush-fit, high-performance solar solution.
Going beyond the data that roofing manufacturers usually provide, we aim to empower decision-makers to make the most suitable choices when it comes to sustainability considerations. That is why we make our Environmental Product Declarations for Marley’s range of clay, concrete, and solar offerings easily accessible.
When designing this product, we also considered the value of fast project delivery and how incorporating it within a complete dry fix solution can simplify the specification process and minimise risk. As a result, our Lincoln Pantile features an open-gauge design for quick installation and is compatible with Marley RidgeFast and HipFast dry fix systems.

Our Complete Solar Roof System ensures that high-performance solutions do not have to come with added compatibility concerns, as we have thoroughly tested each component to provide a system where they all work together seamlessly.
We know how much the requirements of developments can differ from one to another, so, in order to deliver an answer to the problems that your particular project faces, we have established a network of area specification managers who can help you find the right product for your design.
