Page 7: Installation Guide For Envirotiles
4. INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR ENVIROTILES This installation guide is aimed at all new users of the Envirotile system - builders, installers and self builders. It is not intended as a guide to general roof construction and examples given here have been created to demonstrate how the Envirotile system is fitted.
Page 8: Setting Up
Note that the roof images provided as content material are indicative examples of standard roof types provided to assist the installer with a visual perspective of the different stages of the Envirotile installation process. Always provide the correct ventilation requirements at the eaves soffit area.
Page 9: Ventilation
SADDLE AND FIXING OF FELT SUPPORT TRAYS Saddle the fascia board the full width of the roof with lengths of specifically designed Deeplas felt support trays. Align and affix to independent rafter centres using galvanised clout nails. Note : At ends overlap each universal felt support tray by a minimum of 100mm to ensure water tightness is maintained.

System in conformity to Fire Standard BS:476-3. If another universal type of underlay is used for 100mm min Envirotile installation on a cold roof type it will contravene Deeplas’s guarantee and roof performance and all warranties will be considered null and void.
Page 12 Note: The gap provided at apex will provide the area for rising interstitial moisture and condensation to escape through the ventilated Envirotile main roof ridge system. ENVIROLAY ABUTMENT WALL DETAIL Run the Envirolay to the wall face and provide an uplift of material of at least 150mm.
Page 13: Fitting Battens
INSTALLING THE FIRST COURSE OF BATTEN The Envirotile system relies upon the first course being an accurate gauge setting and bench mark for penultimate courses Using a standard single Envirotile as (illustrated) will determine the location of the first bottom eaves batten.
Page 14 9. FITTING BATTENS BATTEN SETTING OUT AND FIXING 35mm Referring to the illustrations, measure the distance between the top apex final course batten (top edge) to the first bottom eaves course batten (top edge) and from that dimension deduct 35mm. The result is the distance between the top batten and the first course of batten using the top edges to measure from.
Page 15 9. FITTING BATTENS RIDGE STRUCTURE Before the last top eaves course batten is fixed, fix a 50mm x 50mm bedded batten above the rafters using rafter straps (non-supplied). Note that the rafter straps are usually supplied flat and need to be bent to shape. Fix the apex batten to the rafters as shown above Then fix the top batten course, 35mm down from the rafter apex 35mm...
Page 16 9. FITTING BATTENS ALTERNATIVE TOP BATTEN SETTING OUT Envirotiles can be cut with a hand saw very easily so an alternative option for the batten setting out is to set out the battens up the roof face by the recommended gauge (see page 16) then fit the top batten course so that the gauge is different. For the top row of tiles the installer can then cut off the TOP EDGE of the tile so that it clips into the lower tile and lines up with the top batten edge.
Page 17: Dry Verge Installation
10. DRY VERGE INSTALLATION INSTALLING THE CONTINUOUS DRY VERGE To finish gable ends it is recommended that the continuous dry fix verge (ENV3MDV) is used. This is fitted over the top of the battens and runs along the top edge of the end rafters at gable ends.
Page 18: Installing The Envirotiles
11. INSTALLING THE ENVIROTILES INSTALLING THE ROOF TILES - KEY POINTS Envirotiles are very easy to install, but it will help to familiarise yourself with the important design features of the tile to ensure that you understand how the tiles fix together. Envirotiles are laid using the standard 3 step layout procedure.
Page 19 11. INSTALLING THE ENVIROTILES 11.1 BEFORE YOU START Prior to commencement of roof tile installation mark out with a pencil where the tile pack rows are to be conveniently and evenly placed and spaced. Provide enough room between the rows of stacked, packed tiles to be able to work freely and without hindrance.
Page 20 11. INSTALLING THE ENVIROTILES 11.2 INSTALLING ROOF TILES ONTO THE EAVES BATTEN Starting from right to left without fixing, run through the full length of the first eaves/course with tiles to ascertain the correct location and permanent fixture position of the first course of tiles. Clip into starter rail Hook over batten Take the first tile and cut off the right...
Page 21 Note: Envirotile single and double sized tiles are interchangeable and can be used at gable ends if required. The double tiles are ideal for infilling large runs quickly and for use when cutting around rooflights, dormers, chimneys, etc.
Page 22 11. INSTALLING THE ENVIROTILES 11.4 INSTALLING THE ROOF TILES Envirotiles are laid using the standard 3 step layout procedure. 3 tiles 2nd course 1) Start the 3 step tile procedure - 2nd course with a half tile Go back to the 2nd course and run through with 3 tiles only and 2 full tiles and repeat each course above using the same sequence 2) Start the 3rd course with 2 full tiles...
Page 23: Abutment Walls
12. ABUTMENT WALLS INSTALLING A UNIVERSAL ABUTMENT SOAKER Lay the abutment soaker tight against the wall face (as illustrated) positioned above the felt support tray and then permanently fix to the batten edge. Ensure that the abutment soaker overhangs the fascia by the same distance as the eaves course roof tile.
Page 24 12. ABUTMENT WALLS 12.1 INSTALLING TILES AT ABUTMENT WALLS At the abutment wall the end roof tiles must be screwed down/secured to the batten in 2 separate places using the 2 fixing points provided. We recommend use of double tiles for Tiles shown for illustration cutting if required.
Page 25: Installing The Ridge
13. INSTALLING THE RIDGE INSTALLING THE VENTILATED RIDGE ROLL With all the roof tiles installed and securely fixed, the next step is to fit the ventilated ridge roll (ENV330RIDGEROLL). VENTILATED RIDGE ROLL - ENV330RIDGEROLL Place the ridge roll over the centre of the bedded batten and lay over the ridge apex ensuring the roof tiles are used as a substrate and overlapped by a...

14. FINAL STAGES FITTING THE GABLE ENDS FASCIA BOARDS AND GUTTERS With all tiles installed and secure, the gutters, downpipes and gable end fascia boards can be installed (note that it may be beneficial to fit the gable end fascia boards before other stages, depending on the material used). Gable end fascia boards Gutters Gable end fascia boards...
Page 28: Installing Hip Roofs
15. INSTALLING HIP ROOFS SETTING UP Prior to commencing the roof it is critical that the roof area that is to be covered with roof tiles is level (at the eaves and ridge) and square to any wall. Note that the construction shown is indicative only. The principles of the roof installation apply for a range of construction details.
Page 29 15. INSTALLING HIP ROOFS 15.1 ROOF PANELLING If using plywood panels above rafters, the installer should ensure that there is a ventilation gap of 25mm at the apex ridge area to allow for interstitial condensation to escape. At the hip beams please ensure that a minimum gap of 20mm is provided to compensate for both ventilation and panel expansion.

Page 32: Installing Envirotiles
We recommend marking the line on the roof face as a reference. The nibs on the Envirotile raise the back of the tile off the roof face so maintaining a ventilation path. Starting at the right hand side of the roof face, clip a DOUBLE TILE into the starter rail, locate and position the tile and trim to match the hip as shown.
Page 33: Single Hip Roof Faces
19. SINGLE HIP ROOF FACES Working right to left, fit the Envirotiles in the same way as detailed on pages 20 to 25. Ensure that the Envirotiles are interlocked and fix the tiles directly to the plywood panels. WORK RIGHT TO LEFT Follow the same procedures for the abutment wall side, if required.
Page 34: Double Hipped Roof Faces
20. DOUBLE HIPPED ROOF FACES On a roof face with a double hip install using the same procedure. Trim the last tile on the left in the same way as the first tile on the right to the hip beam line, leaving a ventilation and expansion gap.
Page 35: Ventilated Ridge And Hip Roll
21. VENTILATED RIDGE AND HIP ROLL On a warm roof construction the installer may fit an abutment wall channel or use a simple flashing above or below the tiles. INSTALLING THE VENTILATED RIDGE ROLL With the roof tiles installed and securely fixed, the next step is to fit the ventilated ridge roll (ENV330RIDGEROLL) to the main roof ridge and aluminium hip roll (ENV180HIPROLL) to the hips.
