ABSTRACT:
A roofing tile comprises a rectangular panel having first and second longitudinal edge portions adapted to extend in the slope direction of a sloped roof and an upper lateral edge and a lower lateral edge is adapted to run parallel to the horizontal edges of the sloped roof. The upper lateral edge and the first longitudinal edge portion has an upstanding ledge portion. The second longitudinal edge portion has a raised portion with a downwardly extending flange. The raised portion is adapted to overlap the upstanding ledge of the first longitudinal edge portion of an adjacent tile. The bottom lateral edge portion has a downwardly extending flange adapted to overlap the upstanding ledge at the upper lateral edge portion of a further adjacent tile. A lower portion of the first longitudinal edge portion is provided with fastener access means whereby a fastener can be passed therethrough to anchor the tile to the roof. The lower portion is provided with a recess defined in the panel inwardly of the upstanding ledge. The flange of the raised portion on the other longitudinal edge portion is provided with a tab adapted to tightly fit within the corresponding recess of an adjacent tile such that when a fastener anchors the lower first longitudinal edge, the tab is interlocked within the recess of the adjacent tile.
