Tapered Slate

Tapered Slate is a flat, slate-referencing concrete roof tile from Eagle Roofing Products. The face is smooth, the sides are beveled and the edge is chamfered. That separates it from the smoother Bel Air and the more textured Estate and Textured Slate. It is a residential tile within residential concrete tile roofing.

Eagle groups it with Bel Air, Ponderosa, Estate and Golden Eagle as one of its flat concrete tile profiles. Profiles in that group vary by region.

• Tile width: 12 3/8 inches
• Tile length: 17 inches
• Headlap: 3 inches
• Tiles per 100 square feet: 88.5
• Tile type: Type III, low profile
• Tile factor: 1.4683 cubic feet, ratio 1.044

The face is smooth. The sides are beveled, and the edge treatment is chamfered. Eagle ranks the profile among tiles that reference natural slate, and the profile appears in Eagle's Copper Series as well as its standard color range.
