Abstract
Description
- This invention is concerned with improvements in concrete roof tiles and is particularly concerned with sets of concrete roof tiles including a novel roof ridge tile intended to complement the shape and configuration of main roof tiles of a set thereof.
- Concrete roof tiles have been traditionally made for almost one hundred years by an evolving roller and slipper extrusion process as disclosed, for example, in
GB 1357637 - It will be readily understood, therefore, that roof tiles formed by the conventional extrusion process cannot be provided with upper surfaces having configurations other than those that may be formed by said extrusion processes.
- Nevertheless, extruded roof tiles are applied to the pitched roof of a building, whether a domestic or commercial building, the tiles being configured so that they match the remainder of the roof tiles, viz. the verge tiles, on a completed roof.
- Ridge tiles, on the other hand, which may be made by an extrusion or moulding process, have generally been of a half-round, delta or of tapered half-round configuration and are usually of simple design for the purpose of sealing the ridge of a roof.
- In the past, where a roof is to be ventilated at the ridge thereof, provision has been made for this purpose by providing ventilation elements that are affixed to a ridge batten of a roof structure with ridge tiles being assembled on the roof overlying the ventilation elements. The inclusion of the ventilation elements has often called for the addition of intermediate tiles and/or other closing elements between the ridge tiles and the uppermost ones of the main roof tiles on the roof.
- Thus, the extra components required for assembling the completed roof ridge structure, together with the attendant labour, adds to the overall cost of the roof.
-
GB 140869 A - It is an object of the present invention to provide a set of tiles that overcomes, or at least mitigates the disadvantages of the prior arrangements.
- Thus, the present invention conveniently provides a set of tiles according to claim 1.
- By the term "central channel portion" is meant a portion of the ridge tile configured as a channel, a centre line of the tile, when viewed in use on the roof, lying in the channel. Preferably, the ridge tile, when viwed on the roof, appears symmetrical about that centre line.
- The term "central channel" when used in connection with a roof tile, is to be similarly construed.
- In a preferred embodiment of the invention, lower edge portions of the roof ridge tile are provided with protuberances adapted, in use, to rest on an upper surface of an adjacent roof tile to define a ventilation opening between the roof ridge tile and the adjacent roof tile.
- Preferably, the ventilation opening is bridged by a pervious sealing member, which may conveniently be provided by a grill, a strip of foam material or a combination of a grill and a strip of foam.
- In one convenient embodiment provided by the invention, the pervious sealing member may be co-joined with the ridge tile to form a prefabricated unit.
- Conveniently, the channel of the ridge tile is bounded by sloping side walls, which also complement, in use on a roof, sloping side walls of the channel formed in the upper surface of the adjacent roof tile.
- Preferably, the roof ridge tile comprises means for interlocking with adjacent roof ridge tiles along a ridge of a roof when in use, said interlocking means comprising a downwardly facing lock portion at one end of the roof ridge tile and an upwardly facing lock portion at an opposite end thereof.
- Conveniently, the roof ridge tile has a length that is equal, or substantially equal to the width of the adjacent roof tile.
- In use on a roof, the set facilitates their application to pitched roofs having pitches down to seven degrees.
- Preferably, the roof tiles of the sets of tiles each have a density of from 2.11 to 2.16 g/cm3 and a durability of more than 400DIN freeze/thaw cycles.
- There now follows, by way of example, a detailed description of the invention, which description is to be read with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
-
Figure 1 is an upper perspective view of a roof ridge enclosed in a set of tiles provided by the invention; -
Figure 2 is a diagrammatic section view through an upper part of a roof as seen in the direction of the arrow II inFigure 1 ; -
Figure 3 is front side view of a ridge tile of a set of tiles of the invention; -
Figure 4 is a right hand upper perspective view of the tile shown inFigure 3 ; -
Figure 5 is a front side view of a ridge end cap of a set of tiles of the invention; and, -
Figure 6 is a right hand upper perspective view of a main roof tile of a set of tiles of the invention. - The set of roof tiles of the present invention generally comprises a
ridge tile 2 positioned in use at the apex 4 of apitched roof 6, a ridgetile end cap 8 located at eachend 10 of the apex 4 of theroof 6, only one suchridge end cap 8 being shown inFigure 1 , amain roof tile 12 and right and lefthand verge tiles 14, only the lefthand verge tile 14 being shown inFigure 1 . - The
ridge tile 2, which is substantially of half-round configuration, seeFigures 2 and4 , comprises a downwardly facinginterlock 16 at a right andend 18 thereof and an upwardly facinginterlock 20 at aleft hand end 22 thereof, seeFigure 4 . - The
ridge tile 2 also comprises a portion configured as achannel 24, which extends over theridge tile 2 at amidportion 26 thereof, seeFigures 1 ,2 , and3 , thechannel 24 having amulti-facetted base portion 28, seeFigures 3 and 4 . A centre line 25 of the ridge tile, when viewed in use on the roof, lies in thechannel 24, the ridge tile appearing symmetrical about the centre line 25. - The
multi-facetted base portion 28 is bounded bymulti-facetted sloping walls Figure 3 and 4 , the shape and configuration ofbase portion 28 and slopingwalls exterior facets roof ridge tile 2, seeFigures 1 ,3 and 4 . - From
Figure 3 , it will be readily appreciated that eachlower edge portion roof ridge tile 2 is configured to be complementary to the shape and configuration of respectivemain roof tiles 12 against which it is positioned, seeFigures 1 and2 . - The
ridge tile 2 is provided withprotuberances 42 along itslower edge portions Figure 3 , theprotuberances 42 being arranged to abut against upwardly facing surfaces of themain roof tiles 12 when in use on a roof to define aventilation gap 41 therebetween, seeFigures 1 and2 . - At its
left hand end 22, theridge tile 2 is provided with a raisednail hole 44 for facilitating the attachment of theridge tile 2 to aridge batten 46 provided at the apex 4 of a roof. - The ridge
tile end cap 8 is generally of the same configuration as aridge tile 2; however, while it is provided with an upwardly facinginterlock 48 at a right hand end 50 thereof for engagement in use with a next in lineroof ridge tile 2, seeFigure 1 , at itsleft hand end 52 theend cap 8 is closed by anend wall 54, seeFigure 5 . - The
main roof tile 12 is generally rectangular in plan and comprises a downwardly facingsidelock 56 at aright hand side 58 thereof and an upwardly facingsidelock 60 at aleft hand side 61 thereof, seeFigure 6 . - The
tile 12 also comprises an upwardly facingchannel 62 at amid portion 64 thereof, thechannel 62, which extends lengthwise of from top to bottom of thetile 12, has awider mid portion 66, seeFigures 1 and6 . Acentre line 64 of the tile, when viewed in use on a roof, lies in thechannel 62, the tile appearing symmetrical about thecentre line 64. - The
channel 62 of theroof tile 12 is bounded on opposite sides thereof by slopingwalls Figures 1 and6 . - The
verge tile 14 is generally of the same shape and configuration as theroof tile 12 except that it is provided with a downwardly extendingwall 71 at a left hand end thereof to close the verge side 72 of the roof, seeFigure 1 . - From
Figure 1 , it will be readily be appreciated that when the roof tiles 12, vergetiles 14, theridge tiles 2 and theridge end cap 8 are assembled on a roof, all of the tiles complement each other with thechannels 62 of theroof tiles 12 andverge tiles 14 being extended over the roof by thecomplementary channels 24 of theridge tiles 2 and theend cap 8 respectively. - The
ridge tiles 2 are fastened in position by fastening elements, not shown, passing through the raisednail holes 44 into theridge batten 46. - When completed, the roof ridge is well ventilated by provision of the
ventilation gaps 41 that are defined between the ridge tilelower edge portions protuberances 42 make contact on either side of the roof ridge apex 4. - The
ventilation gaps 41 are bridged by a sealing member provided byfoam elements 43 or the like, which foam elements allow adequate ventilation of a roof while preventing the ingress of small birds and large insects to the inside of the roof structure. - The
roof ridge tiles 2 are supplied with their sealing members, viz. thefoam elements 43 attached thereto. Thus, when a roofer covers a roof ridge using the set of tiles provided by the present invention, the use of the prefabricatedroof ridge tiles 2 andfoam element 43 facilitate the fast and efficient covering of the roof ridge 4. - In alternative embodiments provided by the present invention, the pervious sealing members may be provided by grills or combinations of grills and foam elements co-joined with roof ridge tiles.
- It will be appreciated that the simplified construction of a roof, incorporating the set of tiles provided by the invention, reduces the numbers of the components used when compared with roofs having multi-component ventilation means at the roof ridge. This leads to an appreciable reduction in product and labour costs for the end user.
- The roof tiles of the set of tiles provided by the invention are made by a method of moulding concrete roof tiles as disclosed in a United Kingdom patent application
0508652.5 filed 28 April 2005 GB 2425508 A - The roof tiles may be cast from a cementitious composition by a method leading to a density of 2.11 to 2.16 g/cm3 and a durability of more than 400DIN freeze/thaw cycles.
