ABSTRACT:
A roof tile 10 is provided which, when used on a tiled roof, has improved resistance to lifting and damage due to wind. The roof tile includes a wind-uplift-preventing step 5 that, when a plurality of the tiles are overlapped on a roof deck, shields a forward end surface 94 of an adjoining tile to prevent the adjoining tile from being lifted in high winds. The roof tile also has a tapered top surface 93 which offers a low wind resistance profile, and includes interlocking formations 28, 40 on its top and bottom surfaces which are arranged and dimensioned to allow each tile to be interlocked with adjoining tiles above and below it on the roof deck.
