9.1.13 Pitched roof coverings
Pitched roof coverings shall have an acceptable finished appearance.
Tiles and slates should:
- be reasonably uniform in texture, finish and colour
- be suitably mixed to avoid excessive colour banding.
Also note:
- some minor blemishes will occur on individual tiles and slates
- some minor variations will occur in the texture, finish and colour of individual tiles and slates
- efflorescence occurs naturally on some types of tile. It is not harmful and generally disappears over time. Tiles which have efflorescence when laid should be suitably mixed to avoid a patchy appearance.
