Ketley Staffordshire Quarry Tiles
Unglazed Staffordshire clay floor tiles from the same Etruria Marl body as the roof tiles and engineering bricks — dense, low water absorption, frost resistant, and unglazed so the colour runs through rather than sitting on a glaze. Six colours in 215 × 102.5, 215 × 65 and 150 × 150 mm, suitable indoors and out. Made by Ketley Brick at Dreadnought Works, Pensnett.
Carbon and evidence
Product Evidence
Evidence currently held for the Ketley Brick product record.
Recorded Carbon Result
A1–A3 GWP-FOSSIL per tonne of clay product. The declaration also prints a GWP-total of 6.67, which is not recorded because it is physically impossible — its −176 biogenic credit is five orders of magnitude larger than the packaging carbon the declaration itself reports. Note too that this is a works-wide figure covering bricks, pavers and quarry tiles as well as roof tiles, not a roof-tile-specific one.
Indicator: GWP-fossil

A WIDE grouped declaration: it covers Dreadnought Tiles AND Ketley Brick, spanning Class A engineering bricks, clay pavers, quarry tiles, clay roof tiles with fittings (BS EN 1304), brick slips and special shapes. The declaration's stated rationale is that "the environmental impacts per tonne are identical regardless of the final shape or size", so this is NOT a roof-tile-specific figure — it is one number for the whole works output. Manufacturer of record: Hinton Perry & Davenhill Ltd.
