Double interlocking The double side and upper interlocking, allowing the roof to be extremely watertight, ensuring its impermeability
Cost reduction Its large format (11units/m²) and strapping every 5 units, as well as its packaging on pallets of 180 and 240 units, reduce installation costs
High breakage resistance The clay’s composition and its perfect press performance make flexion rates even higher than Standard
Easy and quick fixation It´s a traditional shape together it´s installation by crossbond, allows a great adaptation to restoration

Installation Tips

*First course batten should be 20 mm [3/4"] higher than all succeeding course battens to provide a vertical adjustment and to assure a symmetrical installation

NOTE: A control line between 3 and 5 rows of tiles (maximum) is recommended.

STRAIGHT BOND PATTERN

1. The starter course will begin with a full tile from the eave to the ridge, (allowing a 3.15" [8cm] overhang at the eave).

2. The second course of the tile will lay up directly over the previously installed field tile to the proper exposure and overlapping. See Figure for sequence of installation for first and succeeding courses of tiles from the eave to the ridge.

3. The left section (vertical terminating end) of the roof can be closed by using a half (1/2) tile or tile cut into the size to overlap the left side course - Q14. Alternatively, the vertical termination can use overlapping verges.

BROKEN BOND PATTERN

1. The starter course will begin with a full tile from the eave to the ridge, (allowing a 3.15" [8cm] overhang at the eave).

2. The second course will be started with half or cut into the size by measured at tile.

3. All joints of the second course and succeeding courses should be at the center line of the pre vious course.
