Roofing Lengths

Looking for some roofing material, I am told they are called machimbrados here.  They are the ceramic orange long tile things that go over roof spaces and are then tiled or cemented over (some people call them roof placas..?)  The max length I have found is 2 metres but Id really like 2.50 meters (or more)  Anyone know where you can get these?  Ive tried Mayor, Gisbert, and Magrane so far  Undecided

Normaly machimbrados are going on top of concrete beams. The space between the beams for a roof typically is 60 or 80 cm, thats why you will find machimbrados of this sizes. It wouldn't make sense to make them much longer because a space wider then 80 cm between the concrete beams won't make a solid roof.

Hi Phill,

Yes vigas it is. You can buy them at all lengths, around 6 euro a meter.
