  3. how are clay roof tiles attached
Asked: 2019-11-13 14:50:14
My clay tile roof is leaking and I want to replace a few cracked tiles, I assume they don't nail on like a shingle but they don't fall off so they must be attached somehow. How are they fastened?

Roofers know that you cannot install a tile roof the same as a shingle roof. Using nails is not an option. In this article, description, I learned that tile roofs are not installed as tightly as shingles. If they are put in too tight then the tile could actually break.
