pantile|ˈpæntaɪl|
Also 7–9 pan tile, pan-tile, 8 pan-tyle.
[f. pan n.1 + tile n. Cf. Du. dakpan (Kilian dack-panne), lit. roof-pan; Ger. dachpfanne, pfannenziegel pan-tile.]
1. a. A roofing tile transversely curved to an ogee shape, one curve being much larger than the other; when laid on the roof the greater part of their surface forms a concave channel for the descent of water, while one side forms a narrow convex ridge, which overlaps the edge of the adjoining tile.
The name has also been applied to tiles made with a single curve, which were laid edge to edge, on their convex sides, the junction of two edges being covered by another tile laid with its concave side downward; also, improperly, to flat overlapping roofing tiles.
