The FP McCann Gemini Concrete Roof Tile is a high-performance interlocking tile that combines the classic appearance of traditional double cambered plain tiles with the efficiency of a modern single-lap system.
Designed to replicate the visual appeal of two plain tiles in one unit, Gemini offers a seamless, authentic finish while significantly reducing the number of tiles required per square metre. This results in faster installation, reduced labour costs, and improved overall efficiency on site.
Its interlocking profile enhances weather resistance, providing a secure, watertight roof covering capable of withstanding challenging conditions. Suitable for a wide range of roof types, including lower pitches compared to traditional plain tiles, the Gemini tile delivers both versatility and long-term performance.
