Sandtoft Calderdale Edge & TLE

Name: Sandtoft Calderdale Edge & TLE
Brand: Wienerberger

Large-format interlocking concrete tiles — the flat-profile Calderdale Edge and the through-coloured TLE, laid at around ten to the square metre. Fewer, larger tiles is the single biggest lever on a tiled roof’s carbon: about 9.5 kgCO₂e/m² against roughly 20 for the small-format plain tile off the same site.

Carbon and evidence

Product Evidence

Evidence currently held for the Wienerberger product record.

Wienerberger

Recorded Carbon Result

168kgCO₂e/t

A1–A3 GWP-total per tonne, as declared. GWP-fossil for the same stage is 207 kgCO2e/t — the gap is timber-pallet biogenic carbon booked in A3 and released in A5, a packaging artefact rather than a property of the tile, and it is the figure Wienerberger themselves publish. Both are stored. On the manufacturer's own conversion this tile is about 9.5 kgCO₂e per m² of roof (GWP-fossil basis, manufacturer-published rather than part of the verified declaration).

* A4/A5 are EPD scenarios, not project-specific results. Module nomenclature follows BS EN 15978 / EN 15804. Declared values are suitable as inputs to a whole life carbon assessment under the RICS Professional Standard (2nd edition); this panel is not an assessment.

Service Life — the B4 Replacement Input

70 years · EPD reference service life

The declaration states a 70-year reference service life.

≈1 installation over a 60-year building study period.

B4 (replacement) follows the building, not the product: an assessor multiplies replacement cycles by project quantities. This record supplies the service life and does not compute B4.
