Tiles are resistant to wind and rain, and hold up to the heat. They prevent indoor heat from escaping, and are a superior construction material. On the downside, if they are tiled poorly they can lead to water leakage and can be blown off in windstorms. In the field of roofing tiles, where a high level of skills is expected, a mere one-millimeter gap between tiles is unacceptable. The extraordinary skills of Mr. Imai, with his Tile Roofing Expert Level One certification, are observed together with his young apprentice who is attempting to tile a roof for the first time, under Mr. Imai's direction.
