Project details

Wienerberger’s New Rivius slate appearance roof tiles, part of the New Generation portfolio, have been used to stunning effect on a substantial self-build project – Glen House, in the small Scottish town of Larbert, Stirlingshire. The project boasts incredible views from its large plot of the local hills, woodlands and countryside.

New Rivius is so authentic-looking that the planners and local authorities gave their agreement for Alan to use the product within a historically slate area – which is a fantastic achievement that demonstrates its authentic look, beauty and quality. The product provides a natural slate appearance because it is made from alluvial clay with a tough ceramic finish. It is produced in a mould with a slate imprint, which gives it a natural look – providing a riven surface with dressed edges.

Eddie Brown, Specification Manager in Scotland for Wienerberger, commented: “We are very pleased Alan selected our New Rivius tiles for Glen House. It has been a very rewarding project to become involved with. Alan has created an incredible home and the sheer scale of the build is extremely impressive. When you factor in the location and the aesthetic of the product, New Rivius has delivered the quality, authentic appearance and durability that this beautiful new home deserves at an exceptional price – giving the customer peace of mind for decades to come.”
