Installation and covering direction

The roof tiles make laying in both directions possible. If the circumstances allow it (e.g. with pitched roofs and pent roofs), coverage towards the weather side is preferred.

In the ridge and valley area, the covering direction is binding due to the necessary overlap.

Roof tiles are always bonded, i.e. covered with offset joints. Half panels and frog mouth hatches can also be covered end to end.

Cover roof tiles in horizontal rows (Fig. 1).

Press the panel into the hook fold. Strike the bottom edge of the panel lightly with the handle of the hammer (Image 2).

A general bracing of the overlapping grooves is not normally necessary. In the case of uneven roof surfaces (overlapping grooves are not in place), manual bracing may be necessary.
