Tiles
Tiles are pieces of roofing material, regular in size and shape so as to allow a roof to be covered evenly and rapidly. Tiles may be made of fired clay or of concrete. Clay tiles may be flat (rosemary tiles), of an S-shaped section (pantiles), or of some special section. They are usually fixed on battens. Concrete tiles may be flat, and diamond-shaped, or profiled in some way, for example to resemble pantiles. Concrete tiles are heavier and less durable than clay tiles or slates.
