A rapid laying arrangement for interlocking concrete or clay roof tiles is provided by a plurality of tile supports (2) of moulded plastics, e.g. polyethylene, on which the tiles (T1-T4, Fig 4) are located in half-bond relationship to form a multiple tile panel. Each support (2) provides four tile modules (8, 10, 12, 14) each of which has associated snap-fit tile fixing means by which the tiles are secured thereto which means is provided by hooks (50, 52, 54, 56) for engaging associated sidelock portions of the tiles and jaw-like members (70, 72) for engaging associated headlap portions of the tiles. Each support (2) also has resilient portions adjacent the jaw-like members (70, 72) for resisting loads impacting on the tiles secured on the support (2). Carrying handles (118, 120) are provided to enable a tiler to carry the supports and tiles assembled thereon, the supports each also comprising lugs (100, 102, 104) for location, in use, in complementary recesses (106, 108, 110). To complete the laying arrangement and secure the supports (2) and thus the tiles (T1, T2, T3, T4) to a roof appropriate fasteners are inserted through apertures (112, 114, 116) into the boarding (130) of the roof structure. <IMAGE> |
