Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Roof tiles
German term or phrase: 4-Ziegeleck
The subject is roof tiles. I am not sure how to phrase this - "4-tile corner" sounds wrong to me. The sentence in question is:

"Grund: Seine ausgefeilte technischen Formgebung mit 3-facher Kopfverfalzung, doppelter Seitenverfalzung und einem **4-Ziegeleck** mit geschütztem Verriegelungszapfen."

Thanks in advance.

4-tile corner


Explanation:
It's the shape of the roof tiles what this is about. This is a special tile for securing roofs against damaging winds. The design of the tile is made to interlock 4 tiles for additional strength against uplifting. also see https://www.erlus.com/assetdownload?assetId=689
