Following an increase in demand for low pitch clay roof tiles, Koramic has conducted rigorous testing that confirms its Actua clay tile can go down to just 15 degrees. Ideal for extensions and vertical cladding, the Actua has a large format, meaning that just 10.5 pieces are required per m². With a variable gauge, there is no need to cut the tile so it is easy to fix and requires minimal labour. Sales director for Koramic, Martin Fewtrell, explains the system: 'The tiles have a deep head lock and feature a gently curving edge to protect from wind driven rain and give more aesthetic appeal when used on lower pitch roofs.'
