Plastic Tiles
Introduction
The tile is a piece with which "Cover (construction)" covers are formed on buildings, to receive and channel rainwater, snow, or hail. There are other ways to form roofs, but when they are made with tiles, they are called roofs.
The shape of the pieces and the manufacturing materials are very variable: the shapes can be regular or irregular, flat or curved, smooth or with grooves and projections; Regarding the materials, they can be ceramic (made with baked clay), hydraulic (made with cement mortar), plastic and bituminous (made with plastic polymers derived from petroleum or other raw materials), wood, stone (such as slate).
The use of roof tiles is attributed to the Greeks, who used thin, slightly curved ceramic plates. The suburb of Kerámikon in Athens was so called because ceramic tiles were manufactured there. Pliny the Elder says that the Belgians used a soft white stone to make their tiles. The palace of the kings of France took the name Tuileries as there were formerly tiles there.[1].
A roof has two fundamental pieces: the channel tile (abbreviated: the channel), which collects rainwater, taking it outside the perimeter of the construction, and the piece or cover tile (abbreviated: "the blanket"), which covers the joint between the channels.

The ceramic tile
Tile or ceramic is a construction material widely used in many regions to protect the upper part of buildings from rain. Because it was subjected to the elements, receiving them flat, it was perhaps the first piece of construction that was used cooked, while the walls could be made of uncooked clay, adobe or rammed earth. The main characteristic of tiles made with fired clay is their durability, low cost and low maintenance.
