Specifications
The document details various roof tiles like Antica Tuscania and Coppo Rosso Liscio, noted for frost-proof nature and color compatibility. They are designed for easy installation with high bending strength and an average breaking load of 110 kg/cm².

Procedures
Installation involves specific procedures for proper ventilation and durability, recommending timber battens or composition mortar fillets as support structures. Detailed instructions emphasize air circulation and proper tile alignment.

Standards and Recommendations
Maintaining the same pitch across the roof and placing the first row of tiles on higher battens is crucial for alignment. Specific materials and dimensions for mortar fillets are recommended to facilitate water runoff and ventilation.

Key Data from Tables and Figures
Tables provide dimensions and weights for different tile types, while figures illustrate support elements and correct installation techniques for various tile styles.

Critical Information
