Bavaria Clay Roof Tile - Leier

Short description

Fired clay roof tile, 33.8 pieces per square metre. Minimum pitch 24°. Sold by the square metre.

Full description

Bavaria is the true scale tile: 34 small pieces per square metre, laid in overlapping courses like fish scales. It is the only profile here that follows a curved or broken roof without cutting, which is why it survives on historic buildings where nothing else fits.

Recommendation

Check the pitch before you choose: this tile needs at least 24°, and below that no amount of underlay makes it watertight. Order about 5% over the measured area — hips, valleys and eaves all cost tiles, and a batch bought later rarely matches the first exactly. Set the batten spacing from the technical sheet, not by eye: it fixes the overlap, and the overlap is what keeps the roof dry.
