Roman clay tiles and Chinese tiles are both mainly curved, which makes the two visually compatible. In addition, the clay tone of Roman tiles is close to the color of tiles in traditional Chinese buildings, which can be well integrated into the Chinese style.

It is not uncommon to see black stains on Roman clay tile roofs. These stains are usually formed due to the roof being exposed to the outside environment for a long time and being affected by a variety of natural factors. The main causes include mold, algae, air pollutants, etc.

● Starting at one end of the eaves, place the first tile on the waterproof membrane. ● Use a nail gun or hammer to secure the tiles to the wooden baseboard, fixing each tile at at least two points. ● Make sure the bottom edge of the tile is flush with the eaves, and use a level to check for straightness.

High-quality clay tiles can withstand a static weight of about 150-200 kilograms per square meter when laid reasonably. This load-bearing capacity is mainly used to resist natural loads such as snow accumulation and falling branches.

Assuming the loss rate is 5%: ● Loss number = 734×0.05=36.7 tiles ● Actual total number of tiles = 734+36.7=770.7 tiles Therefore, considering other factors such as loss, a 100 square meter roof will eventually require 771 Roman clay tiles (0.15 square meters per tile).
