Roof Tile Setting Out

With the joints between them.

Roof tile setting out. We custom manufacture roofing tiles to replace those obsolete roof tiles. Setting out across the roof. Set out the first second and all the rest of slates on a pitched roof. Discontinued roofing tiles salvaged clay and concrete roof tiles available.

Use two tiles to determine the spacing required for the battens. Most tiles have an adjustable headlap meaning the overlap can be. For installation as a quarter bond linea tiles in each alternate course overlap by a quarter of the tile width. Ensure verge overhang is equal at left and right ends.

Setting nine rows at 14 inches will require us to cut 5 inches off of our top row. With staggered broken or cross bond tiles in each alternate course overlap by half the tiles above and below them. After you have determined the distance between the first two battens measure the distance and set battens using that. But what if the distance is only 135 inches.

Firstly get two of your roof tiles and either two full battens or two offcuts of batten and place them onto the roof one above the other. Remove the ledger later and trim tiles to fill the gap below. Custom made concrete tiles also available. At this stage some adjustment in shunt could be made if necessary to allow a 38 to 50mm overhang at verges.

With straight bond the sides of tiles form straight lines from bottom to top course. Set tiles on a ledger fasten a straight ledger to the wall to support the tiles. Next place your two tiles one on top of the other loose onto the battens without anything being fixed. Roofing with plain tiles positioning the battens.

Lay a course of tiles along the eaves setting the tiles at the average linear coverage. Set out the first second and all the rest of slates on a pitched roof. Cutting the tile would remove the fastener holes and tile lugs and make the top course uniquely short taking away from a precision aesthetic. The obvious way to tile a wall is to start at the bottom and work your way up.

A minimum of a 3 inch overlap is required for the tiles. These roofing tiles are perfect for tile roof repair and restoration.
