Coelho da Silva (CS) Clay Roof Tiles
Galex is the sole UK importer and distributor for the Portuguese manufacturer Coelho da Silva SA (CS). CS was established in 1927 and has continued to be a family-owned business with a strategy firmly focused on quality, innovation, and development.
CS's drive and commitment has made it one of the world’s leading clay roof tile manufacturers, boasting a production capacity of 57 million units per annum, making it Portugal’s largest clay tile manufacturer. Throughout its entire history, CS has remained independent, continuously producing tiles since its inauguration.
Product Range
CS’s range includes roof tiles designed for low pitches such as the Plasma interlocking flat tile, the Primus square profiled tile, and the Sirius bold roll tile (all of which are suitable for roofs with pitches as low as 10 degrees). As well as these, CS also manufactures other profiles such as barrel tiles, Portuguese S tiles, and, of course, Marseille profiled tiles.
At the Cutting Edge of Clay Production
CS has state-of-the art production methods, including the use of plaster cast moulds produced in-house, the plaster is reusable over and over again, good news for all. Using Plaster cast molds means the factory can produce the most consistent tiles and accessories in the industry with a higher density and virtually no distortion in its tiles, a huge advantage over the majority of its competitors; these two key benefits ensure the tiles sit together extremely well in the pallet, thereby eliminating breakages within the pallets and during transport.
