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.
Take the first tile and cut off the right
hand connecting strip using a hand
saw - see above.
Then, slide this tile into the dry verge
as shown.
Take a new tile and clip into the
starter rail, hook over the batten,
then slide this tile into the end tile
so that the connecting strip fits into
the left hand slot of the tile. Push
together ensuring there is a 5mm
space between the top faces of the
tiles.
The spacing between tiles can be
adjusted to allow for course length
(see next stage), but ensure that the
minimum spacing is 5mm, and that
the fixing hole (A) comes over slot (B)
when the tiles are joined.
