WHAT SHOULD BE NOTED WHEN INSTALL STONE COATED ROOF TILES？

Stone-coated metal roof tiles can meet the requirements of different architectural styles and have a wide range of applications. Compared with traditional roof tiles, it is more convenient to transport, simpler to construct, more diverse in shape, and has a service life of 50-70 years. However, overall for the roof building materials market, stone-coated metal roof tiles are a relatively new roofing material.

For example, a question that everyone is generally concerned about: Will lightweight stone-coated metal roof tiles be blown away by the wind? The answer to this question has been found for everyone. Professional installation methods and rigorous wind resistance testing prove that stone-coated metal roof tiles can withstand severe weather conditions such as hurricanes.

So today we will talk about another question: What are the precautions for installing stone-coated metal roof tiles?

Overall Architecture

First, we should focus on the overall architecture. Stone-coated roof tiles are widely used in concrete structure roofs, steel structure roofs, and wooden structure roofs.

Installing battens and purlins is a critical step in the overall structure of your roof. After the roofing material is determined, the installation and overlap of the overall slats and purlins must be strictly controlled in accordance with the specifications to ensure appropriate spacing. The laths and purlins are installed in a bottom-up order. After installation, the overall paving effect of the roof tiles is established.

Installation process

Secondly, the laying process of roof tiles. The main roof tiles of stone-coated roof tiles generally overlap from bottom to top according to the installation steps. After one row of overlapping is completed, the second row overlaps upward until the roof is completely covered.

It should be noted that the connections between the roofing tiles, as well as the covering between the roofing tiles and the laths, all need to be fixed with screws. Each stone-coated metal roofing tile requires about six nails to be drilled. Tiles installed this way will be very strong. After the main roof tiles are installed, specific accessories are selected and installed according to the roof structure.

Repair

The entire construction and installation of stone-coated roof tiles requires attention to some details. The excess tiles need to be cut with a machine, and the tiles at the edges of the ridge tiles need to be folded with special tools. The distance and length must be preset in advance so that the overall roof effect can be coordinated.

Finally, regarding the handling of screws, exposed screws will inevitably rust due to long-term exposure to sunlight and rain. It is necessary to use professional glue and cover the surface with a layer of stone particles of the same color as the roof tiles to prevent the screws from rusting and affecting their service life and overall appearance.

The above are some precautions during the construction and installation of stone-coated roof tiles. The installation of stone-coated roof tiles is generally very simple, and paying attention to details can present a perfect roof effect!
