The aim of this document is to present a simple method to produce a roofing material with cement as the binding agent. The method is well established, and the report is based on the experience of persons who have been producing tiles for 50 years. It describes primarily production and quality control of concrete tiles, not roof construction. What limits the use of concrete tiles is their weight on the roof, which requires a strong load-bearing structure. Changing an existing roof can require strengthening the roof framework. Advantages of concrete tiles are that they are cheap, require little financial investment and take little energy to make. Production is very simple, and the entire process can take place on the building site or in small units, which can easily be expanded later.
