Help! This term appears in an image brochure all about clay roof tiles. The kinds of "Dachziegel" offered include "Hohlzigel, Hohlfalzzigel, Flachdachziegel, Muldenziegel und Schwingenziegel". Any suggestions for what this might be in English and tips on the others would be helpful. Thanks!

Discussion

Non-ProZ.com Jan 16, 2003:
pantile vs. roof tile Isn't the term "pantile" more of a British thing? I like "double wave tile" better, since I've been referring to the things as "roof tiles" in general in the translation. But this is not about what I fancy. It's about getting it right.
Any additional comments on this would be helpful.
Thanks again in advance!

If you look at the picture carefully, you\'ll see that each tile has two waves

i.e. double pantile
