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 to traditional roof tiles, transportation is more convenient, construction is simpler, and the shape is more diverse. However, overall for the roof building materials market, stone coated metal roof tiles are a relatively familiar material.

For example, a question that everyone is generally concerned about: Will the lightweight stone coated metal roof tiles be blown away by the wind? The answer to this question has already been answered for everyone. The professional installation method and strict wind resistance testing have proven that stone coated metal roof tiles are not easily blown off by the wind.

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

Firstly, we should pay attention to the overall architecture. The application scenarios of stone coated roof tiles are very extensive in concrete structure roofs, steel structure roofs, or wooden structure roofs.

Installing battens and purlins is a crucial step for the roof's overall structure. After determining the roofing material, the installation and overlap of the overall battens and purlins must be strictly controlled according to the specifications to ensure proper spacing. The battens and purlins are installed in a bottom-up order, and after installation, the overall paving effect of the roof tiles is established.

Secondly, the process of laying roof tiles. The main roof tiles of stone coated roof tiles are generally overlapped in sequence according to the installation steps from bottom to top. After one row of overlapping is completed, the second row is overlapped upwards until the roof is fully covered.

It should be noted that the connection between roofing tiles, as well as the coverage between roofing tiles and battens, all need to be fixed with screws, and about six nails need to be drilled on each stone coated metal roof tile. The roofing tiles installed in this way will be very sturdy. After the main roofing tile paving is completed, the specific accessories are selected and installed according to the roof structure.

The entire construction and installation of the stone coated roof tiles require attention to some details. Excess roof tiles need to be cut with machines, and the roofing tiles at the edge of the ridge tiles need to be folded with specific tools. The distance and length must be preset in advance, so that the overall roof effect can be coordinated and unified.

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