the “home’ column in todays Sunday paper mentioned them in an article on roofing, also mentioned of course asphalt/fiberglass clat tile etc.
Are they common? Sounds like hardie Plank on a roof – what “seals” them down? or is it their weight?

James Hardie makes hardieshingle siding, but it's only designed to be installed vertically.

I've seen fiber-cement products used for roofing, with great success. Neither resembled ordinary shingles or shakes.
One product resembled the wavy sheet metal panels you often see on sheds. The other imitated clay barrel tiles. Both were installed just like the products they were replacing.
