Abstract

A roof tile comprising a ceramic body and a reinforcing element attached to a lower surface of the ceramic body.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A roof tile comprising a ceramic body and a reinforcing element attached to a lower surface of the ceramic body. 
     
     
         2 . Roof tile according to  claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing element comprises a resin. 
     
     
         3 . Roof tile according to  claim 2 , wherein said resin comprises a viscosity below 1000 mPas at 20° C. 
     
     
         4 . Roof tile according to  claim 2 , wherein said resin comprises a tensile strength between 50 and 90 MPa. 
     
     
         5 . Roof tile according to  claim 2 , wherein said resin comprises a hardness above 50 Shore D. 
     
     
         6 . Roof tile according to  claim 2 , wherein said resin is provided in an amount above 50 g/sqm. 
     
     
         7 . Roof tile according to  claim 2 , wherein said resin comprises epoxy, polyurethane, acrylic and/or polyester resin. 
     
     
         8 . Roof tile according to  claim 1 , wherein the roof tile comprises a support layer attached below the reinforcing layer. 
     
     
         9 . Roof tile according to  claim 8 , wherein said support layer comprises glass or mineral fiber. 
     
     
         10 . Roof tile according to  claim 8 , wherein the thickness of the support layer is between 25% and 75% of the thickness of the roof tile. 
     
     
         11 . Roof tile according to  claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the ceramic body the ceramic body forms at least 50% of the thickness of the roof tile. 
     
     
         12 . Roof tile according to  claim 8 , wherein said support layer is offset with respect to the ceramic body in the length and/or in the width direction of the roof tile. 
     
     
         13 . Roof tile according to  claim 1 , wherein the roof tile comprises at least an attachment hole provided in the support layer. 
     
     
         14 . Roof tile according to  claim 8 , wherein said support layer comprises a thickness below 4 mm. 
     
     
         15 . Roof tile according to  claim 1 , wherein the support layer comprises coupling parts adapted to provide a mechanical coupling with a framework of the roof. 
     
     
         16 . Roof tile according to  claim 15 , wherein the coupling parts are provided at the upper and lower edges of the support layer. 
     
     
         17 . Roof tile according to  claim 15 , wherein the coupling parts provide for a click-type or snap-type coupling. 
     
     
         18 . Roof tile according to  claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the roof tile is below 10 mm. 
     
     
         19 . Roof tile according to  claim 1 , wherein the ceramic body comprises a thickness below 8 mm, preferably below 6 mm. 
     
     
         20 . A roof covering comprising a plurality of roof tile according to  claim 1 .
