ripia


Explanation:
Ripia: cada una de las piezas delgadas y generalmente alargadas de madera, material asfáltico, pizarra, metal u hormigón, que se colocan en hileras solapadas, para proteger del agua una cubierta.

"Los shingles (tejas) son ripias de madera aserradas longitudinalmente en las que uno de los extremos tiene generalmente un espesor superior a 5 mm y el otro un espesor generalmente inferior a 5 mm. Los bordes pueden estar aserrados de nuevo para que sean paralelos; los extremos pueden estar también aserrados para formar un ángulo recto con los bordes o una curva o cualquier otra forma. Una de las caras puede estar lijada de un extremo a otro o estriada longitudinalmente."
