	They are a simple rectangular shape and fairly small in size, commonly 265 x 165 mm. Plain tiles have to be laid double lapped, which means there have to be two layers of tile throughout the roof and at the end laps of the tiles the top tile must overlap the tile two below it.

	Interlocking tiles overlap and interlock at their sides and so can be laid single lap. Traditional examples include clay pantiles and roman tiles, although since the 1970's the majority have been manufactured from concrete. They are commonly around 420 x 300 mm and can be laid to angles as low as 15°. Due to their large size and single lap, they are relatively inexpensive, quick to lay and weigh around 50-60% that of a plain tile covering.

	A clipped tile can be removed by prising off the interlock and extracting the nail. A new clip and nail can be fitted, allowing the clip to rest in the clip recess of the adjacent tile. If a number of damaged tiles are clipped, it may be necessary to strip the roof back to the nearest verge or valley/hip in order to re-clip the replacement tiles.
