An improved roofing tile with side flanges, one overlying and one underlying, providing an interlock between adjacent tiles. The flanges have two ridges and two grooves each. The inner ridge of the underlying flange is higher than the outer ridge thereof, and the outer groove of the overlying flange is deeper than the inner groove thereof. Optionally a cutout is provided on the overlying flange permitting a tile to be held with a hurricane clip on the underlying flange. Optionally a cavity is provided on the bottom face toward the lower edge to prevent a tile coming in contact with nails driven through tiles in a lower course.

A flat shingle style concrete roofing tile adapted to be laid over either an underlayment including horizontally disposed battens or an underlayment without battens, in a series of courses on a roof, the tile when laid having a generally planar skywardly facing top surface, a bottom surface facing the underlayment, side edges, and upper and lower edges, a first flange disposed along one side edge of said top surface and extending between said upper and lower edges and a second flange disposed along the opposite side edge of said bottom surface and extending between said upper and lower edges, each said flange forming at least one ridge and at least one groove, the groove of an underlying flange being adapted to receive the ridge of the overlying flange of an adjacent tile, said tile having the same thickness at its upper and lower edges and having an elongated batten support beam molded in said bottom surface at the upper edge thereof extending from near one side edge to near the opposite side edge and protruding a predetermined first distance from the bottom surface for engaging an upper edge of a batten in the event the tile is laid over an underlayment including battens, the downwardly facing surface of said batten support beam being angled in the direction of its width so as to be substantially parallel to and in contact with an underlayment not having battens, and having a cutout formed therein located intermediate its ends for providing a weep hole for allowing runoff of any water that may accumulate between the batten support beam and the underlayment.
