Galvanized Sheeting for Roof Valley111 viewsMost of the problems with CPAC concrete roof tiles come from inadequate valley material or poorly done ridges. It is easy to get the wrong stuff, just go to any supply store and ask for the valley material that everyone uses. This is the 1 meter wide material, formed in the center for water run-off, roofs with this as valley material (properly installed) don't have problems. dozer
