Properties of traditional clay roof tiles manufacture in Kelantan, Peninsular Malaysia / Nor Hidayah Abdullah, Rodiah Zawawi and Zuraini Md Ali

The industry of traditional clay plain tiles, Singgora tiles, has been established in Kelantan for almost a century. However, the studies conducted in this field are insufficient. The purpose of this study is to test the properties of existing Singgora tiles to find out whether they satisfy the stan...
