Edernish Island with Rosemary Clay Classic
Located on Edernish Island, a tiny private island on Ireland’s North West coast, sits this wooden house, built in 1904, completely at ease in the tranquility of its striking surroundings. Uniquely, this house is the only one built on Edernish Island and consequently relies on ferries for the delivery of necessities, not to mention the materials for such a major project.

The Challenge
The Challenge
The challenges of timing all deliveries to accommodate high tide, coupled with a narrow pier and very limited space on the island for storage, meant materials required to complete the project had to be ordered and delivered within very restricted time frames.
Although the weather on Edernish Island is mostly pleasant, it can also take the brunt of severe Atlantic storms. Strong gales and chilly temperatures will continue to batter the roof tiles which are more than equipped to tackle the challenge.
Rigorous testing in BMI’s wind tunnel has shown that the Rosemary Clay Classic tiles hold up to strong wind and driving rain to meet all requirements of the BS 5534 British Standard.
Another challenge which occurred was the differing pitches on either side - the solution for this was a Dry Hip System.
The Solution
The Solution
The Edernish Island property needed a tile that would match the original style of the roof and improve its overall look, so BMI Redland’s Rosemary Clay Classic was chosen in Red. Produced from the finest clays, the Rosemary name is synonymous with quality clay plain tiles.
In regards to the roof itself, one of the owner’s primary concerns was to ensure the performance of the roof would withstand the Western Atlantic gales. For this reason, he turned to the FixMaster Online tool on the BMI website and requested guidance and reassurance on the fixing of tiles. As expected, the recommendation included twice nailing every tile, and the installation of a DryVent Ridge and Dry Hip System.
The demands of the project were further compounded as BMI Redland recommended mixing tiles from a minimum of three pallets, to avoid patchiness and ensure a perfect variation of the red shade. Regardless of all these issues, the tilers delivered a roof to the highest quality in terms of workmanship and attention to detail.
