High profile concrete roof tiles: the height of the roof tile is more than1/5 its width
Common high-profile roofing tiles include two-piece pan-and-cover Mission tile and one-piece Spanish S-tiles.
Low profile roof tile styles include a wide variety, many with a double-S shape that creates multiple water courses.
Many flat roof tiles are shaped and colored to simulate slate or wood shakes. In general, patterns using smaller tiles cost more per square for both materials and labor than patterns using larger tiles.
