11. INSTALLING THE ENVIROTILES
11.3
INSTALLING THE FIRST EAVES COURSE OF TILES
Continue to fit tiles on the first eaves course
as shown until the full row is complete.
At the left hand side ensure that you have at
least a half single tile to fix.
Note that the tiles can be cut with a hand
saw and there is a centre mark moulded
into the tile to help.
If the tile spacing is such that less than a
half tile remains you can either adjust the
Envirotile Single Tile
tile spacing along the course to increase the Envirotile Double Tile
end tile size, or you can replace a single tile
with
a double tile along the course and/or at the
end, so that the end tile is larger than a half
single tile.
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.
When the first row of tiles has been fitted
Single Double
and spacings adjusted securely fix down the
tiles using the fixing points D and J. Note
that in the run, the left hand fixing D will
secure the adjacent tile on the left hand side
through slot J (see previous page).
Double
Single Single
Always use 2 top fixings (D and K) for full
gable end tiles. At the gable ends if a fixing
point is missing on the left hand or right
hand side, due to a cut tile, drill a hole
through the tile and fix through to the
K J
batten.
