Installing Envirotiles - Deeplas ENVIROTILE Installation Manual

18. INSTALLING ENVIROTILES

18
Laying Envirotiles on a hipped roof face follows the same basic procedure as outlined in pages 20 to 25 of this guide.
But there are some differences that need to be considered due to the warm roof structure.
CHECK THAT THE COURSE LINE IS LEVEL ON ALL ROOF FACES
In a warm roof construction the Envirotiles are fixed directly onto the plywood
roof face panels. There are no battens so it is very important that the installer
checks that the first course line is level. The easiest way to do this is to clip
a single tile into the starter rail at each end of each roof face and run a line
as shown. Adjust the line so it is level - the starter rail allows for some tile
adjustment.
We recommend marking the line on the roof face as a reference.
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. Ensure
that you leave 20-25mm of clearance at the edge to
allow for ventilation and expansion.
You may wish to used a tile sized paper template to
help with this.
It is very important that the tiles are clipped into the
starter rail - this is an essential part of installation to
ensure that the first course is properly secured.

the roof face so maintaining a ventilation path.
