Russell Roof Tiles has picked up a prestigious industry award for a new tile product which has only been in production for a year.
The Bute3® tile was named Roofing Solution of the Year at the Showhome Readers’ Awards, voted for by readers of the leading trade publication and media platform.
The tile has become the Burton upon Trent firm’s fastest-growing tile since its launch, which followed an investment of more than £20 million and five years of design, engineering and development.
The Bute3® combines the appearance of traditional plain tiles with a modern interlocking triple-tile format and its appearance of three separate tiles helps contractors reduce handling time and improve productivity, speeding up installation.
Managing director Andrew Hayward said: “We are absolutely delighted that Bute3® has been recognised by Showhome readers as Roofing Solution of the Year. This is the first award win for the product, which makes it a particularly proud moment for everyone involved in its development.
“Bute3® reflects our continued focus on innovation, performance and quality, and it has been designed with the needs of both developers and installers in mind. To receive this recognition from the industry is a fantastic endorsement of the product and the team behind it.”
Bethany Kellock, Editor of Showhome magazine, said: “I would like to congratulate everyone at Russell Roof Tiles on winning the Showhome Readers’ Award for Roofing Solution of the Year for their Bute3® tile.
“This recognition by our Showhome readers is a testament to the team’s dedication, innovation, and commitment to delivering high-quality roofing solutions for the UK housebuilding sector.
“It is always encouraging to see hard work and sustained excellence acknowledged by the industry, and Russell Roof Tiles should be extremely proud of this achievement.”
