The stock consists of old Holland tiles, Sneldek tiles, Rhineland tiles, Tuiles de Nord, cross tiles, Roman tiles, Mulder tiles, Friese tiles, but also more contemporary mechanically shaped types. The very well organised and extensive terrain counting up to a million roof tiles, they also store and sell used wood and new construction material in smaller quantities.
