The Concrete Plain tile creates a highly desirable roof and as a design has been used since the 17th Century.
Plain tiles are small and rectangular in format and have always been 265mm x 165mm (or in fact 10½ " x 6½ ") in overall size, requiring 60 tiles per square metre. They perform by overlapping densely up to three tiles deep to achieve a watertight layer.
It is this functional requirement that creates their rustic appearance, adding a sense of detail and texture to the roof. This character is enhanced by the effect of cambers longitudinally and across the width.
