Abstract (en)

A method of fixing tiles to provide a roofing structure is provided. One or more tiles are positioned such that adjacent files overlap. At least some of the tiles are fixed to one or more underlying building members (9) such as a batten or continuous decking by a fixing means (8). The fixing means (8) such as a screw, nail or lug engages with apertures, slots or knockouts (5,6) in each of the overlapping tiles. Thus each tile has at least one fixing means (8) in common with an adjacent tile. A form of roofing tile is also provided. The tile has at least one aperture, slot or knockout (5,6) at or adjacent a minimum of two edges of the tile. The apertures, slots or knockouts (5,6) are positioned so that the tiles can be overlapped and fixed to a building member (9) by inserting a suitable fixing means (8) through the apertures, slots or knockouts (5,6) provided on each of the overlapping tiles and anchoring the fixing means (8) to a building member (9).
