The second side may also include an overhang portion sized to overlap the side gutter of a horizontally adjacent tile. When installed, the shingle tiles may create a water resistant roof surface.

A metallic roof material 1 according to the present invention comprises: a front substrate 10 made of a metal sheet, the front substrate 10 comprising a body portion 100 formed into a box shape; a back substrate 11 arranged on a back side of the front substrate 10 so as to cover an opening of the body portion 100; and a core material 12 filled between the body portion 100 and the back substrate 11, the metallic roof material 1 being tightened to a roof base by driving at least one tightening member into the body portion 100, wherein a top plate portion 101 of the body portion 100 comprises at least one protruding rib 3 comprised of at least one protrusion 30 disposed along a side of a polygon or along a circle, and wherein the metallic roof material 1 is configured such that the tightening member is driven into an inner region 3a of the protruding rib 3.

The present disclosure relates to a technical filed of mounting a tile, and discloses a tile fixing device and a method for disassembling the tile fixed by the same. The tile fixing device includes: a slider, at least a portion of the slider being disposed below the tile; a connector, at least a portion of the connector being disposed above the tile and the connector being coupled to the slider so as to hold the tile between the at least a portion of the connector and the at least a portion of the slider; and a fixing beam configured to be fixed on the building, and the slider being hung on the fixing beam so as to fix the tile on the building. In the tile fixing device, the fixing beam comprises a sliding groove extending in a direction at a certain angle to a longitudinal direction of the fixing beam and running through the fixing beam, the certain angle is greater than 0 degree and less than 180 degrees, the longitudinal direction of the fixing beam extends in a horizontal direction, and the slider is configured to be rotated such that the slider can slide along the sliding groove and slide out of the sliding groove so as to detach the slider from the fixing beam and remove the tile. The present disclosure has the advantages of easy disassembly and easy maintenance.

The invention relates to a device (10) for fastening facade elements (40) with a plate (12) which, when fastened, extends in the vertical direction (z-direction) in a length b and in the horizontal direction (y-direction) and can be fastened to a house wall or a substructure (14), the plate (12) at its lower end having a profile chamber (16) which is square in section in the xy direction and has four side walls a, b1, c and d of different lengths, which are located in horizontal direction, where the side wall b1 of the profile chamber (16) is part of the plate (12) and the angle between the sides a and b1 is the only right angle in the square profile chamber (16), the angle between the side walls b and c is an obtuse angle, the length of the side wall c is shorter than the length of the side wall a and in the side wall b1 an indentation (17) is provided

A tile, a tile assembly and a method of fabricating a tile are provided. The tile includes: an arc-shaped tile body including a first end and a second end in its length direction; and an arc-shaped jacket including a fixing section and a mounting section sequentially disposed in its length direction, a convex side surface of the fixing section is attached and fixed to a concave side surface of the first end of the tile body, the mounting section protrudes from an end surface of the first end of the tile body, and a convex side surface of the mounting section can be attached to a concave side surface of the second end of the tile body of another tile, the convex side surface of the jacket is provided with a drainage groove between the fixing section and the mounting section and extending along a width direction of the jacket.

A roof tile having a mesh covered foam core with a cement-based protective coating, a roof covering formed from such tiles and methods for making same.

An integral nail/disk structure that eliminates the need of having any exposed nails associated with a shingled roof having a color matching body member integrally formed with a roofing nail. Another embodiment including a fastener such as a nail or screw having an enlarged head and an associated gasket member for fastening sheet metal to a roof structure. The gasket member has a sealant on both of its top and bottom surfaces so as to adhere both to the underside of the enlarged head portion of the nail or screw, and to the sheet metal to create a waterproof seal. Still another embodiment includes an enlarged cap member associated with a gasket member attached to its underside portion wherein the cap/gasket member can be attached over a fastener hole in a roof, or over a faulty roofing nail or screw in lieu of caulking techniques usually used to cure leaks where the faulty fastener attaches sheet metal to a roofing structure.

A solar cell module includes a solar cell section and a step forming plate. The solar cell section includes a front side transparent plate, a back surface member, and a solar cell sealed therebetween. The step forming plate is disposed on a front side of the front side transparent plate, overlapping partly with the front side transparent plate and forming a step between the solar cell section and the step forming plate.

A roof tile having a mesh covered foam core with a cement-based protective coating, a roof covering formed from such tiles and methods for making same.

Metal roofing includes metal roof-covering sheets or tiles having apertures along longitudinal end edges for coupling a pair of the sheets in an overlapping condition. One fastening arrangement comprises a fastener having a shaft extending in a longitudinal direction and fastening features at longitudinally spaced positions along the shaft. The fastening features may comprise a fastening peg or an opening receiving a fastening member therethrough. The pegs and openings may be combined in such a manner that at least two of the features cooperate with the apertures of the respective sheet in opposing transverse directions so as to longitudinally offset the apertures in the overlapping condition. Another fastening arrangement comprises a roof-covering sheet locating fastenings pegs which are spaced inward of the apertures in a longitudinal direction of the sheet so as to form the longitudinal offset between the respective sets of apertures.
