The present invention aims to provide a tile having a projection to impede water entry between the tile and an adjacent tile, but permit variable overlap of tiles. In particular the present invention relates to roof tiles for pitched roofs. Preferably the tile is a clay tile, although it is envisaged that the tile could be manufactured from a variety of common roof tile materials known by the skilled person. According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a tile having a projection and a projection contact region, the projection being for, when the tile overlaps a similar or identical adjacent tile, contacting the projection contact region of the adjacent tile and inhibiting water entering therebetween, wherein the shape of the projection, and the shape of the projection contact region, permits variable overlap of the tiles. <IMAGE>
