Redland 49 'Tile And A Half' For A Velux?

[jagillham]

Hi

I have put a velux window in, and annoyingly on both sides the tiles naturally end pretty much flush with the edge of the flashing. This leaves nothing exposed to hang a slice of a tile on.

I could nudge the whole window along 15cm to have a half tile on each side.

Ideally I want the window where it is. I have seen you can buy 'a tile and half' which I could trim, but nothing that I can see for a Redland 49. Do these exist?

Thanks

No such beast, I'm afraid.

How about using a redland renown tile? Obviously they are longer and wider but they interlock fine together. I've seen them used on gables where a daft cut has ended up.

Just cut it down to the same length, might not work but just an idea.

Thanks for the replies.

Have you ever combined the two tiles? The middle bulge seems a lot bigger...

Can't be done.

If you cut them down you lose the lug.
The the two tiles are not compatible.
