Roof Tiling
Roof tiles are a non-combustible roof covering designed to prevent water ingress into a roof.
Tiles are laid or hung in regular overlapping rows along the framework of a roof by fixing them with nails to wooden battens.
The choice of tile needs to meet various considerations: the aesthetic requirements of the building, the environmental factors such as weathering and wind force, and to the development budget available
Roof tiles are man-made and so different versions have been developed that utilise modern technologies and innovations such as materials and fixings.
Today tiles are available in many sizes, colours, materials and profiles and they are manufactured to cater for specific applications and different sets of conditions.
Some specific applications are for use at special positions on the roof, such as where the planes of the several pitches meet, including roof ridges, hips and valleys
