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.
Only load enough packs of tiles to the roof area that the installer feels will be
used during the period of tile fixing/installation.
Unused packs of tiles should not be left on exposed roof areas overnight or
for any long period as a preventive measure against damage/injury caused by wind loads.
A single pack of single roof tiles covers an approximate area of 0.8m²
Note: During and after the tile installation remove and regularly collect all loose pack strapping and place away from the roof
working area as a preventive trip hazard.

head of each roof tile this mark provides the correct positioning
for the purpose of cutting half tiles.

place with neighbouring roof tiles and onto batten at 8 separate
