Common concrete roofing tiles and the accessories that form part of a complete roof system typically fall into the following categories: Concrete Roof Tile Types (Profiles) Concrete tiles are generally categorised by their profile (shape): Plain Tiles: Small, flat, rectangular tiles laid in a double-lap pattern. They create a traditional, textured look. Examples: Standard Plain Tile, DuoPlain (which is a single-lap interlocking tile designed to look like two plain tiles). Profiled (Interlocking) Tiles: These are larger format tiles with a defined shape or 'roll' and a side and/or head interlock that helps with water shedding and makes them quicker to install. Double Roman: Characterised by two distinct rolls and troughs. A classic, bold profile. (e.g., Redland Regent, Marley Double Roman). Pantiles/Single Roman: Characterised by a single, continuous, wavy profile, giving a Mediterranean or traditional clay pantile look. (e.g., Redland Fenland Pantile, Marley Mendip). Low Profile/Flat Profile: Tiles that are relatively flat but still have an interlocking edge, often designed to mimic the appearance of natural slate. (e.g., Redland Mini Stonewold, Marley Modern, Marley Edgemere). Essential Tile Fittings and Accessories A complete, weathertight roof requires specialised fittings and accessories for critical areas: 1. Specialist Tiles & Fittings Half Tile / Tile-and-a-Half: Used at verges (edges of the roof slope) and around openings to ensure the correct bond and overlap pattern can be maintained. Eaves / Top Tiles: Tiles shaped or sized specifically for the lowest (eaves) and highest (ridge) courses of tiling. Verge Tiles / Cloak Verges: Special tiles designed to provide a neat and weathertight finish at the exposed gable ends of the roof. Vent Tiles: Tiles with an integrated vent opening, used for roof space ventilation or to connect to extract fans or soil vent pipes. 2. Eaves and Ventilation Components Eaves Trays/Felt Supports: Used at the eaves to support the roofing underlay and channel water into the gutter. Eaves Vents: Components fitted at the eaves to provide continuous ventilation to the roof space (essential for preventing condensation). Ridge/Hip Vents: Components integrated into the ridge or hip line to provide high-level roof space ventilation. 3. Junction and Edge Systems Ridge Tiles: The finishing tiles that cap the apex (ridge) of the roof. They can be half-round, segmental, or angular. Hip Tiles: Similar to ridge tiles, but used to cap the angled junctions where two roof slopes meet (hips). Dry-Fix Systems: Modern alternatives to traditional mortar bedding, offering maintenance-free and secure fixing for ridges, hips, and verges: Dry Verge Systems: Mechanical caps and channels fitted over the verge tiles. Dry Ridge/Hip Systems: A system of ventilation rolls and mechanical fixings to secure the ridge or hip tiles without mortar. Valley Liners: Components (often metal, GRP, or plastic) used in the troughs where two roof slopes meet to channel water away. 4. Fixing and Weatherproofing Tile Clips: Mechanical fixings used to secure tiles against wind uplift, especially at verges, ridges, and in areas of high exposure, often required by building standards (like BS 5534 in the UK). Nails and Screws: Specific sizes and materials (e.g., stainless steel or aluminium) for fixing tiles and battens. Roofing Underlays / Membranes: Flexible, water-resistant layers installed beneath the tiles to provide a secondary line of defence against water ingress, wind, and dust. Flashings (Lead or Lead Replacement): Materials (like traditional lead, or modern products like Wakaflex) used to seal junctions around chimneys, walls, and roof windows.
