PLAIN TILING IN CLAY OR CONCRETE

Course Overview
CPD TC2 Principles of Plain Tiling in Clay or Concrete.

This module builds on the knowledge gained in CPD/TC 1 by using clay and concrete plain tiles on hipped and valley roofs. These principles apply to many other double-lapped products, e.g. natural slates. Static displays featuring eyebrow windows, vertical tiling, angles, laced and swept valleys are included.

Many of the principles applied on this course will apply to other forms of double lapped products, e.g. natural slates, fibre cement slates and stone slating.
