I have a new roof on my extension and the pitch is 14 degrees what tiles can i use !pref rosemary?

The problem is the wind getting under them and making them chatter (or even shatter). More usual to do slates - and even then clipped at this angle, with a greater overlap than may be economic. Best contact Redland for options (they make Rosemary tiles nowadays, I think) or consider a different system, eg metal or felt.

Concrete tiles won't go that shallow. You'll need slates.
Reply:sack your architect, why wasn't this thought of before you built the extension, you can't use tiles at that lower pitch and i'm pretty sure you can't use slates either, check with your local builders/roofing merchant they will check with manufacturers to find out what they can get something for a roof with that lower pitch, good luck.

Reply:I live in Los Angeles, and the Building Code does not allow shingles at a pitch less than 15 degrees.





I suggest you check your local Code first.

Immediately above 15 degrees you will need concrete interlocking tiles - check with Redlands. If by Rosemary you are referring to their plain tiles - they require a considerably greater pitch.


Normally, below 15 degrees requires a sheet material.
