12x Roof tile strips measuring 440mm x 25mm x 1mm approx. These tile strips are made from the same compressed fibre card board as our individual roof tiles, but the strips are much quicker and easier to apply. The tile strips are precisely cut with a slight gap berween each tile and slightly irregular front edge giving a very good impression of individual roof tiles. The tile strips should be glued into position on the dolls house roof using PVA adhesive and then painted with a slate or terracotta clay tile colour using suitable matt emulsion or acrylic paints. The finished tiles can be further enhanced by adding shading to the individual tiles and finishing with a clear matt varnish. Coverage 1:12 scale tile strips measures 444mm x 25mm (17.5" x 1") approx and are designed to be overlapped by around 5mm. The coverage for 12x 1:12 scale tile strips is therefore 240mm x 444mm (9.4" x 17.5") or 1056cm sq. (165 in sq.). Coverage figures specified for 1:12 scale tile strips.
