Wikipedia
Pantile
A pantile is a type of fired roof tile, normally made from clay. It is S-shaped in profile and is single lap, meaning that the end of the tile laps only the course immediately below. Flat tiles normally lap two courses.A pantile-covered roof is considerably lighter than a flat-tiled equivalent and can be laid to a lower pitch.Pantiles are used in eastern coastal parts of England and Scotland including Norfolk, East Yorkshire, County Durham, Perthshire, Angus, Lothian and Fife, where they were first imported from the Netherlands in the early 17th century. They are rarely used in western England or western Scotland, except in Bristol and the Somerset town of Bridgwater.Pantiles are best used in sheltered places or areas which are not subject to harsh weather conditions.

pantile
A pantile is a type of fired clay or concrete tile used in roof covering, characterized by its S-shaped profile that gives the appearance of waves when laid in rows. The design allows the tiles to interlock with each other, providing a durable and efficient roofing system that offers protection from the elements.
