Roof pitch for clay pantiles.

[poshman1]

Hello everyone, I'm a first timer so be gentle !.

I've just pitched a 26 degree roof and realized it needs to be a 30 degree pitch to accommodate a Norfolk clay pantile.

I had a height restriction , hence the degree, if I give the tile more cover will this be ok.
Thanks .

Probably, but make sure BCO is happy first. Some BCO's won't give a damn, some will. Also your tile warranty will be invalid. Better off asking in the Roofing section tbh.

Thanks for the reply

The technical data on the Redland Norfolk Pantile states that they can be used down to 22.5° with a 75mm headlap and 17.5° with a 100mm headlap, so I would imagine that your tile will be able to be used at a similar pitch.

Have a look on the tile manufactures site for the technical data for your tile.


Cheers.
