ERLUS LOW PITCH
ROOF TILES
Watertight Down to 7°
At the Roofing Merchant, we know that the real solution to a high-performance roof isn't just a waterproof membrane, it’s a weatherproof roof tile. While traditional pitched roofs are known for their sustainability and low maintenance, performance often drops at shallow pitches. Typically, when you go below the 'standard' pitch, the pressure on your sub-structure increases, forcing the underlay to do the heavy lifting.
ERLUS has changed the game. With the Karat RS, and the new Level RS, they offer a technically superior design that channels water away with precision. With deep triple interlocking channels these tiles act as a genuine first line of defence. It is protection that works like an umbrella: simple, effective, and reliable.

Their precision design allows them to perform at exceptionally low pitches in some of the harshest environments. From the clean, ultra-modern lines of the Level RS to the technically advanced interlocking features of the Karat RS, you’re bound to find an ERLUS clay roof tile to complement your project. These products typically offer higher mechanical resistance, lower water absorption, and more precise surfaces than those offered by other brands.
