270 x 337mm three quarter from outside of fascia to top of batten 270 x 260mm tile and a half tile nail 270 x 495mm minimum pitch.
This innovative product assists both in reducing the build cost and the environmental impact of the project by lowering the amount of quarried aggregate used and haulage movement per laid m.
Simple to lay and single lapped.
This is important because the correct gauge and head lap has a direct influence on a tile s ability to withstand the ingress of rainwater through capillary ensuring that the roof remains watertight.
Combined with the fact that you need need less tiles per m2 than others forticrete gemini tiles offer a 40 reduction in carbon dioxide emissions per m2.
