Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between plain tiles and interlocking tiles?
Plain tiles are flat, rectangular tiles that overlap significantly, creating a thick, layered roof covering. They offer a traditional, textured appearance. Interlocking tiles have a single-lap design with grooves that lock together, requiring fewer tiles per square metre and reducing weight and cost while still providing excellent weather protection.
