Roof tiles
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
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

Discussion
"Ein Falzziegel kann Seitenfalz-, Kopffalz-, Fußfalz- und Deckfalzteile an seinen Rändern haben (siehe Falz (Verbindungstechnik)). Bei den meisten Dachdeckungen mit Falzziegeln überschneiden sich jeweils vier Dachziegel im Vierziegeleck. Diese Überschneidung kann auf vier Ebenen oder auf drei Ebenen (d. h. zwei mittlere Ziegel überschneiden sich nicht) erfolgen."

Not so sure about the rest but it could prolly be gleaned from the above.
