ABSTRACT:
A roofing structure including tiles preferably molded of a lightweight fire resistant cement product and having grooves at their underside adapted to receive upwardly projecting flanges of coacting elements attached to a roof support structure, to locate the tiles, and with those elements desirably being shaped to extend between two adjacent tiles at a location to intercept rain falling between the tiles and direct that rain downwardly toward lower ends of the tiles. The molded bodies of the tiles contain short tubes embedded in those bodies and defining passages within the tube through which nails can be driven to secure the tiles in place. The tubes are preferably located during production of the tiles by welding the tubes to reinforcing material contained within the tile bodies, with that reinforcing material desirably including a sheet of expanded metal mesh and two channel shaped elements of expanded metal secured to the main sheet of such material and extending about the previously mentioned locating grooves at the underside of the tiles.
