## Questions & Answers

**Q: How are they fixed in place please**
A: There are circles (10mm approx in diameter )approximately 1/3 from the top edge.When in position drill a pilot hole through these circles and through the slate below.Ensure screws used do not penetrate the felt.

**Q: how many do you get?**
A: This is a listing for a single Ridge Tile. Alternative listings, with cheaper unit price, are available for larger purchases and bulk deals are possible.

**Q: How do they bend? The ones I have been sent look like a flat slate**
A: They are flat slates if you wish to slate a roof. The ridge tiles are shaped to fit over the ridge, there is a difference. When you order make sure you ask for either ridge or roof tiles.  They are excellent tiles to work with, very easy to cut to size using a Stanley knife and the look is authentic. Good 
luck.

**Q: Are these 18 inches long or 18 inches in width thanks**
A: 18 inches (45cm) long, which seems to be standard UK tile length as concrete tiles are also 18 inch long.
