- Plain Tiling
Which consists of essentially small flat tiles individually fixed to
the roof timbers. Usually 265x165mm
(10.4"x 6.5"),
these tiles
look similar to slates.
- Pantiles
Usually representing a "wave like" appearance on the roof,
pantiles are effectively lapped
each side as
well as top
and bottom. It
is not unusual to find pantiles used in
conjunction
with three or four courses
of plain tiles or slates
at the eaves.
- Interlocking Tiles
As the name suggests, these tiles are manufactured such that they
lock into each other
at each side and
top and
bottom.
Interlocking tiles are available from many
manufacturers
in a wide choice of profiles,
colours and textures
and can be made from
natural clay or
lightweight concrete.
- Reconstituted Slate Tiles
These are made from a variety of materials including fibre cement,
lightweight concrete and
crushed
natural slate
in resin.
Reconstituted slates are fixed to the roof
in a similar fashion
to natural slates and
interlocking tiles. Their
use has grown in recent
years and
continues to
do so.
McKenzie and Flynn Ltd are happy to discuss with clients their precise
requirements regarding
roof tiling and
