Installation direction and fastening

Installation is possible from left to right as well as from right to left. Adhere to the covering direction once started. Never cover to the middle (Exception: penetrations). Each rhomboid roof tile 29 × 29 is fastened with a clip and a supplied PREFA 2.8/25 grooved nail. If snow guards are also laid, there is no rhomboid roof tile clip (only for rhomboid roof tiles 29 × 29!). For PREFA coverings over multiple layers of bitumen (e.g. bitumen shingles), you will need longer grooved nails, such as 2.8/40. Please state separately when ordering.

In areas particularly prone to storms, a wind load calculation is required and fastenings must be adjusted according to the calculation.

For bottom and top connections, start and end plates are required (2.22 pcs./running meter).
