Profile Concrete Tiles

Concrete tiles have become the dominant choice of material in the modern roof tile market. Their adaptability and lower costs tick two crucial boxes for developers and property owners alike. The mixture of cement, sand and water, along with a number of smaller aggregates added by manufacturers, gives the material a great advantage in terms of its adaptable nature. Concrete roof tiles can be moulded to match almost any design style and the range of colours available is almost unlimited. With three profile appearances to choose from – flat, low or high profile – concrete tiles can be installed across every type of roof pitch. In addition, the texture can either be rough or smooth depending on the requirements of the architectural design they are being used for. There are three main 'profiles' (referring to the shape of the material) of concrete tile which offer the following appearance: •Flat profile: A flat, straight tile with no curves •Low profile: This tile has a small curve and rise to width ratio up to 1:5 •High Profile: A concrete tile with larger curves with a rise to width ratio greater than 1:5
