roof and balcony tiles Explanation: Het gaat bij deze daktegels om platte daken? http://www.ccrubber.be/dak--en-galerijtegels Dit zijn roof and balcony tiles. De typische flatgalerij van NL heb ik in de VS nog nooit gezien. Galerijtegels: https://www.mooiebalkonvloer.nl/portfolio_category/galerijte...

Floor tiles for flat roofs and balconies Explanation: These are (rubber) tiles for flooring applications (a) on flat roofs (laid on on top of the existing, exterior roofing material to form a 'roof garden' or 'deck') and (b) on balcony floors. These tiles cannot be used as roof tiles on their own as they have no overlap to prevent water entering via the cracks between the tiles and are also not moisture-proof.

However, we should remember that the Dutch for roof tile is 'dakpan' and not 'tegel' - the latter being specifically used to describe floor tiles in Dutch. https://www.fiberplast.nl/merken/enviroflex/galerijtegel-sbr-30mm/ |
