How to install roof tile

Ceramic Roof Tiles
Installing Roofing Tile

Construction can be divided into two types of day and wet. The difference of the two types is following:
Dry construction: uses hang tile bar and downstream bar and fix them with stainless snail.
The moment for dry construction:
1. Lie low and bake into unchangeable tile for example: double tally tile
2. The house is even perfectly and draw horizontal line
3. House tile need good function of heat insulation.
4. Unlimited height and the high tile don't affect construction and design.
5. The price of construction is high.
Wet construction: use cement and sand to fix.
The moment for wet construction:
1. Stand up to bake unchangeable tile for example traditional tile.
2. The house is not even and can't draw horizontal line.
3. The house tile is only for decoration without the function of insulation.
4. Limited height and the high tile will affect construction and design.
5. The price of construction is a little bit low.

Double tally tile is the product with new structure and the tiles are buckled each other when construction. After finishing, the roofing is integrated. Tile requires high level up degree. Otherwise the tile will not buckle if the tile distorted when construction. Require high technological automatically equipment to manufacture professionally resisting firebox lying when producing. While the common tile is united with joining up and can adjust if distortion when construction. The requirement for distortion and production equipment is not high. There is difference in effect, speed, resisting water, resisting wind and resisting shock as well as price. This is normal that higher modernization and better quality and more expensive. The customers can make proper choices according to their requirement

Instruction book for dry construction
1> Preparing before construction (cooperating items for Party A):
1. Waterproof treatment for RC roof or wood roof
2. Clear reinforcing steel bar sundries in the roof and whitewash roof.
3. Keep eagle frame, water and electricity in order to construct conveniently.
4. Keep tunnel to pile tile and do crane.
2> Construction sequence:
1. Lofting in landscape orientation: Loft following down and up on sequence according to available size of tile length from dripping line in cornice (the lowest point of declined roof) to fastigium (the highest point of declined roof). And then indicate definite location with black line. The rest tilesize will be lofted in 3.0cm to ridgeline in order to meter the length of cutting tile when installing tile.

2. Lofting in portrait: Loft by sequence according to available size of tile width from left to right and indicate definite location with black line.

3. Keep water way: If roofing slate is complete occlusion then it will not lead to eliminate hot atmosphere between tile cover and food. When the hot atmosphere change into vapor it is bad for the lifetime of roofing materials. Thus we suggest that you must keep proper distance between tile cover and roof. And except the function of isolating radiation heat we can use eliminate vapor and rain conveniently. The way of keeping space is usually to hammer downstream bar.
(1) Fixed materials: fir, willow and wood with embalmment.
(2) Size: 1 cun (W) * 3 Fen (T) * 3 inch (L)
(3) Fix bar into roof with steel snail following portrait space between 30-45cm and daub with waterproof between bar and roof in order to proof water filter in landscape orientation.

4. Fixed hanging tile bar;
(1) Material: fir, willow and wood with embalmment or use not-molder materials such as aluminum bar or stainless steel bar.
(2) Size: 1 cun (W) * 5 Fen (T) * 6 inch (L)
(3) Loft hanging tile bar at black line in landscape orientation to fix it into bar with steel snails.

5. Installing tile:
(1) The first tile in cornice (dipping line) is the best-affected tile by wind airflow. The common traditional tile will fall off after wind disaster and lead to make water. Except improving structure for the double tally tile our company will also suggest to strengthen in cornice.
The suggestion is following:
Cornice tile will be fixed into roof (hammer snail must use stainless snail to fix into tile bar and the length of snail is not destroying waterproof level) and fix front end of cornice tile into the structure body. You also can strengthen fixing cornice tile into roof with concrete slurry according to sites. Thus the tile will be fixed firmly into structure surface and structure power of tile. So they will keep out weather and disaster more efficiently than traditional tiles (such as concrete tile, S tile and Japanese tile)

(2) There is snail hole obverse of tile and hanging ear back of tile. You need hang ear on hanging tile bar additionally with stainless snail. Generally you need 3,4 tile with one stainless snail at least.

(3) From right to left and from up to down, the tile is the last tile close to ridge. If the left size is less than one tile then you must cut tile and connect required tile with ridge tile at the end.
3> Ending treatment:
1. Border tile: The left and right sides of roof end with border tile. You must put certain slurry beside border tile of roof (in order to paste tile). Firstly, you can put the first tile and then border tile up to the highest point (roof ridge line). There is snail hole beside border tile for fixing stainless snail on roof of wood house.

2. Ridge tile: After finishing roofing tile and border tile, then you can construct ridge tile. The ridge tile is covered under roofing tile with color material and slurry for decoration. The two ends of ridge tile are covered with head up to border tile. In common, there are some broken pieces as frame in ridge tile and stainless steel in snail hole in order to strengthen fix.

3. Declined ridge: In the corner of tile, the outer angle (overt angle) is called declined ridge. In this place, the tile besides connection both need cut required shape along declined line and then fill slurry into structure and tile. Above them, you may install ridge tile head and ridge tile from down to upper even to the highest point connecting other tiles.

4. Cullis: In the corer of tile, the inner angle (lunar angle) is called cullis. The concave of cullis don??t set up rust golden table-flap or open drain tile as leading water channel in ../advance. Then cut tile into required shape to paste it with slurry. The bareness part of slurry is adjusted close to tile color in order to decorate.

5. Eave leading water channel: suggest installing leading water channel in eave in order to strengthen ability of blocking wind and cutting water.

6. Clean roof: clean left tile and sundries off roof and tile.
4> The listing ways are common manners. As for special construction, you need strengthen or treat with other ways.

Instruction book of wet construction
1. Prepare before construction
(1) Water proof treatment in roof
(2) Without crack in basic level of concrete. After waterproof treatment, plaster 20-30mm slurry. The level up degree is up to 2 meters and the plane error is less than 10mm.
(3) Keep eagle frame, water and electricity to construct conveniently. The height of eagle frame is flat with roof cornice and keeps 200mm distance to cornice.
(4) Keep channel in order to pile sundries and hang tiles.
2. Sequence of construction
(1) Lofting: according to available size 180*180mm of S1 tile draw assistant design line in landscape orientation and portrait.
(2) Mix slurry: prepare 1:1:4 concrete slurry and the length of slurry is 20-30mm; the concrete slurry of ridge part can be added twine to prevent chap.
(3) Lay: lay order is from right to left and from down to upper facing roof. Require laying every tile along line and the smaller gap of connection is better.
3-1. Lay roof tile: lay roof requires vertical and horizontal lines in order and upright one another. The density is identical and pay attention to clean tile to avoid pollute roof tile.
3-2. Loft cornice: two lines tile in cornice are fixed with steel snail; the cornice tile is next to cornice 40-60mm. You should rise 20-30mm at the head of cornice to strengthen beauty and prevent slide.
3-3. Loft border tile: loft left and right tile on the wall. You should obligate 60mm from inner side of wall for lofting main tile or half tile when drawing line.
3-4. Loft open drain: The main tile lofted up to open drain and filling slurry fully. The drain width of open drain is 120mm.
3-5. After lofting main tile and then to ridge tile. The roof ridge required lofting horizontally and straightly.
3-5-1. Build roof open ridge with red brick and draw level line when lofting ridge tile. It is good for pulling average line to construct.
3-5-2. Fill fully at the bottom of ridge tile to prevent roof ridge from distortion.
3-5-3. Fix 18# copper line into roof ridge at the head of ridge.
3-5-4. The gap of ridge tile is filled with materials same color with tile.
3-5-5. The gap of ridge tile and main tile is filled with concrete slurry fully and then plasters decorating to proof water. Otherwise you can use concrete slurry to decorate.
3-6. Loft declined ridge: cut main tile under the declined ridge close tightly to red brick and the gap of ridge tile and main tile is filled with concrete slurry fully and then plasters decorating to proof water. Otherwise you can use concrete slurry to decorate; fix 18# copper line into roof ridge at the head of ridge.
