Interlocking tile and tiled roof including such tiles
An interlocking tile having a tile body that extends between an underlock and an overlock. The overlock has a recess for receiving a ridge of an underlock of a neighbouring tile in a roof, and the recess of the overlock is of decreasing depth when viewed in a direction towards the tile body. The thinnest part of the interlock is therefore spaced away from the tile body.In the event that a force is applied to the overlock, for example if it is stepped on, the spacing of the thinnest part of the interlock away from the tile body reduces the bending moment at the thinnest part, thereby increasing the strength of the interlock.
