We prove an Erdős-Ko-Rado type extremal result for tilings of a $1 \times n$ chessboard by tiles whose lengths belong to a set $Λ$. Two tilings are said to intersect if they contain a tile spanning the same set of squares. We prove that if $1\inΛ$, then the maximum size of an intersecting family of tilings is attained by the set of all tilings containing a fixed singleton tile at one of its ends. This result generalizes a theorem of Butler, Horn and Tressler, which is equivalent to the case $Λ=\{1,2\}$.
