Only 8 Super Roman tiles are required per square metre and the batten spacing is at 50cm. Super Roman tiles have a deep water channel and large overlap which enables them to be used on low pitch roofs and also provide a roof which has a higher performance in extreme weather conditions.
Super Roman tiles are usually made in 8mm thickness, but 10mm tiles can be produced using an alternative screeding frame. Compared to Roman II and Pantiles, the cost per square metre of roof will usually be lower for Super Romans due to the reduced use of construction timber. These tiles provide a very attractive alternative to other types of roofing.
The scale of production depends upon the number of moulds supplied with each machine and the number of workers employed. In practice, a single machine will usually be able to produce a maximum of 300 tiles in an 8-hour working day, employing 4 workers. Typical plants usually include quantities of moulds in the region of 100, 200 or 300 per machine producing 500, 1000 or 1500 tiles per week. Other quantities can be supplied upon request. |
