A roof tile comprising a ceramic body and a reinforcing element attached to a lower surface of the ceramic body.

A bio-composite construction material for use as a substrate for a tile, a shingle, or a building panel. The bio-composite construction material may be formed into a rigid or semi-flexible member. A hemp fiber component is mixed with a binding agent to create the bio-composite construction material. The rigid member utilizes hemp hurd fibers mixed with lime or clay and water to form a tile structure. The semi-flexible member utilizes hemp primary bast fibers to form an elongated structure that is flexible. Hemp lignin or a resin is used as the binding agent and the primary bast fibers may be woven or alternately layered to create a substrate for a roof shingle.

This invention relates to a roofing, cladding, or siding module, comprising an underlapping region extending from a head edge of the module and an exposed region extending from a foot edge of the module. The length of the foot edge defining the length of the module. The underlapping region is adapted to be substantially covered by the exposed region of an adjacent or overlapping module when installed on a building surface. The module is formed of at least one layer of extruded material. The layer so formed comprises at least 40% w/w filler and/or reinforcement, and one or more polymer(s).

A fibre cement composition comprising at least one hydraulic binder, an organic processing aid fibre as the sole organic fibre within the fibre cement composition, and at least one inorganic fibre, which exhibits excellent fire resistance and mechanical properties.

A moulded article is provided with a presentation side surface and a non-presentation side surface, where the presentation side surface provides for a pre-determined surface decoration, and the non-presentation side surface is an opposing face to the presentation side surface. The non-presentation side surface includes one or more structure(s), where the one or more structure(s) are arranged or positioned to provide or contribute the pre-determined surface decoration of the presentation side surface.
