Concrete roof tiles have been used for decades as an alternative to more traditional materials, such as clay and slate. Concrete tile roof installation is highly versatile – they are available in a wide range of styles, sizes, shapes, and colors to suit all kinds of property.
Below is a guideline on how to install concrete roof tiles by the Buzz Roofing and Exteriors Inc.
Step 1 - Project planning
At this stage there are some aspects which are put into consideration. To consider at this phase is the tiles color as some are prone to fading faster as compared to others.
Step 2 - Get the installation work started
Removing the former roofing is important. Installation of underlayment meaning installation of battens is also required. Battens are the thin material strips either plastic metal or wood about 2’’ wide and 1’’ thick placed horizontal alongside the roof’s length. They are used on roofs with steep slopes for holding the tiles.
Step 3 – Installation of tiles
If there are no battens, nail directly the tiles into sheathing. But if battens are already installed first nail into battens then tiles then using clips anchor onto the battens the tiles. For interlocking tiles, nail tiles to battens or sheathing.
Step 4 - Ridge tiles installation
After tiles installation on roof’s broad surface the tops need special capping with ridge tiles. Ridge tiles are round in shape and as per their design they can either be laid in overlapping or end-to-end style.
Damaging winds are often called “straight-line” winds to differentiate the damage they cause from tornado damage. Strong thunderstorm winds can come from a number of different processes. Most thunderstorm winds that because damage is covered by wind damage insurance claim.
This roofing type as well is wind resistant as well as resistant to hail damage allowing slow to easily slide off especially if a smooth textured file is gone for.
