Panneau Tuile offers you an attractive and modern roof covering for your home. These tuiles come in a wide range of different styles mimicking more traditional clay or slate roofing.
Tuiles have been a long tradition since their introduction 50 years ago. First, imitation tuiles were introduced by a bitumen coating which tended to melt in hot climates
Panneau Tuile provides a lightweight alternative to heavy concrete. These tuiles have been weighing less than a third of the weight of a concrete covering. This brings the cost down and offers more flexibility with structure selection. The installation time of imitation tuiles and steel pan tuile imitation (bac achier imitation tuile) roofing is much quicker than that of clay or concrete. This also reduces labor costs and allows the fix trades to commence earlier. Each roofing manufacturer will provide an installation guide for their product. Here, you can get a few installation techniques which are normally covered:
Setting out
Setting out the roofing before installation is an essential and most important part of any new roof build. With Panneau Imitation Tuiles roofing, it is imperative to get the correct gauge right from the beginning. Different concrete tuiles that have a certain amount of play in the measurements. Metal tuiles have to be spot on or they will not fit. A smaller rod is used to fix batons around the hips and valleys and saves a lot of time for fixing.
Cutting and bending
At roof endings and intersections, roofing tuiles are cut to fit, allowing for a 50mm bend in the tuile. It is then turned up/down which enables the waterproofing of the roof. It is important to bend a sufficient upturn or water may be blown under the ridge or hip.
Valley cutting
Marking and cutting the vale at ground level provides a far neater look rather than measure every tuile and cut separately. As if they were on the roof, the tuiles are set on the bottom. The tuiles should be tight and properly aligned. Two individuals might currently chalk a line on the length of the vale. This offers a far straighter line than individual measurements.
When it involves the ultimate installation of ridge and hip tuiles, take further care with the "cutting in" at intersections. The aim is to supply a watertight seal properly and doubled cuts instead of silicone polymers to keep the water out. By outlaying a little beyond the regular time together with your cutting and bending, the roof can have a neat look and provides years of little to no maintenance.
