Some sixty or seventy years ago an innovation that was to change roofing forever was launched. It was the interlocking tile commonly called a single lap tile as it only has to overlap the tile below by a small amount. With this simple idea roofs could be of lower pitches, they could be laid quicker and the material cost lower.
Since those early days of clay Belgian pantiles coming over by the boatload UK manufacturers have developed a large number of concrete and clay single lap tiles in different colours and styles. There are even single lap tiles to imitate slates and plain tiles allowing minimum pitches to go lower for the same appearance
