	Tile roofing is a very common style of roofing found throughout the world. The tiles used tiles can be made of fired or sometimes unfired clay or differing mixes of concrete, these being heard wearing, heavy materials with high thermal mass, so can be used in hot as well as temperate climates. The shape colour and finish of the tiles used can vary significantly, with many curved designs as well as simple flat designs many are designed to interlock when laid to create better seals.

	Tile roofing is a very common style of roofing found throughout the world. The tiles used tiles can be made of fired or sometimes unfired clay or differing mixes of concrete, these being heard wearing, heavy materials with high thermal mass, so can be used in hot as well as temperate climates. The shape colour and finish of the tiles used can vary significantly, with many curved designs as well as simple flat designs many are designed to interlock when laid to create better seals.

−	Tile roofing is a very common style of roofing found throughout the world. The tiles used tiles can be made of fired or sometimes unfired clay or differing mixes of concrete, these being ~~heardwearing~~, heavy materials with high thermal mass, so can be used in hot ~~aswell~~ as temperate climates. The shape colour and finish of the tiles used can vary significantly, with many curved designs ~~aswell~~ as simple flat designs many are designed to interlock when laid to create better seals.	+	Tile roofing is a very common style of roofing found throughout the world.
