"What's the minimum pitch for plain tiles on a rafter roof?"

Plain tiles need a minimum 35-degree pitch to shed water properly. Below that and you're asking for trouble — water gets driven under the tiles in heavy rain. If you're at 30 degrees or under, you want interlocking concrete tiles or a fully bonded membrane system. And always double-lap your courses.

Always verify to current regs. On-site conditions may vary.
