Creasing brick

[TCLITE]

Hi folks I’m looking to have some external wall damage repaired but my bricklayer isnt sure where to source the decorative creasing tile/brick from (at least that’s what Google is leading me to believe it is). I’ve attached a pic, is anyone able to help identify what this is and where I could likely buy it? As you can see from the pic there is what looks like a wave to it. I’m pretty sure it’s not a roof tile as there’s no holes.

Creasing tiles don't have a camber. Any merch should sell them. Yours look like roofing tiles.

Thanks Stuart. After more googling would I be far wrong thinking it’s something like a red clay nibless roof tile with a camber.

They've definitely got a camber. Peg tiles are nibless, although they have holes for the pegs.

The curve on them looks just like a conventional clay peg tile.

Not easy to get without 2 holes

What about this?

They might not match yours.

Is that what I’m after though yeah? Clay nibless cambered roof tile. I know I’ll probably need to get a few samples to get a good color match although mine do look a plain red/orange

I’ve done the odd wall with creasing tiles and brick on edge, and I’ve always had to use the cambered ones as the merchant hasn’t got the totally flat ones. Think I got away with it as the camber went at right angles to the wall so didn’t get the wavy look. Totally agree that’s the wrong tile tho!

This is the product spec for the tile I linked above. It has the camber? Would this be what I need then?

Those are the ones I’ve used. The 265mm overhangs the 9” wall each side and no camber visible.

You need them with a double camber.

Sorry folks but I am struggling to find anything like what I have in my wall in the picture then. I thought the above I had linked would create the wave effect if laid offset. There doesn’t appear to exist a double cambered plain nibless roof tile with no nail holes. Help would be much appreciated.

If it's only a short run and not too many tiles you could cut them in half, so the nibs wouldn't be on either side. You'd need to fix a temporary batten to take the bottom edge of the tiles, but once the brick on edge has been laid it will hold the tiles in place.

Sorry ignore my previous posts, didn’t read the first post properly about matching the existing
