The use of a manufactured tile as a roofing material dates back to the very early days of civilisation. McKenzie and Flynn
Ltd are confident that they can achieve a superior roof finish with the vast majority, if not all, of the myriad of roof tiles
currently available.
 

The types of roof tiling can be divided into four main areas:

  • 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 Slates
    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.
