In the past it s been changed to a partly flat roof felted and partly pitched using rosemary clay tiles.
Low pitch rosemary roof tiles.
Traditionally a minimum roof pitch of 20 was recommended in bs 5534 but modern tiles and slates have now been designed for applications as low as 15.
My kitchen was originally a pitched roof.
Popular applications include extensions where windows or planning restrictions prevent the use of standard roof tiles.
Today a range of single and cross camber tiles combine the quality of hand crafted clay with the reliability of modern machine made techniques.
The rosemary name is synonymous with clay plain tiles adding distinction and character to pitched roofs for over 175 years.
It is uncommon to find a roof below 15 but for those very low pitch applications there are interlocking clay pantiles available suitable for use down to 12 5.
Low pitch roof tiles low pitch roof tiles are thought of as those that are suitable for laying on roofs at 20 degrees or less.
If the tiles are installed in an area where weather conditions aren t too severe and damaged tiles and slates are quickly repaired the roof will pretty much take care of itself.
