Challenge
This site was part of the unique island community project of St. Mary’s Island, Kent. Russell Roof Tiles supplied 27,000 slate grey Galloway tiles
Solution
Russell Roof Tiles worked closely with Eagle Roofing on the project. Countryside Properties were looking for a slate effect tile to cover their roofs. They ultimately chose Galloway roof tiles as they combine the traditional appearance of slate with the security of an interlocking design and the economy of concrete
Result
St. Mary’s Island is Britain’s first and only strategically planned island community. Developed with simple values in mind for its residents: tranquillity, harmony and community. A number of restaurants and amenities have opened at Chatham Maritime, as well as a primary school, doctor’s surgery and a late-night pharmacy on St Mary’s Island.
