INSTALLATION GUIDE

Daltile Perennial Roofing Tile: Basic Installation Guide

It is the responsibility of the roofing contractor to abide by all local building requirements and codes. Dal-Tile makes no warranties or guaranties of any type, including the accuracy of the information in this manual. Check your geographic area for special or prevailing code requirements that may require an engineering report. As with any roofing material, considerations for weight must be made. When considering roofing material, the designer should always consider the weight of the underlayment, fastening system, roof accessories and special hip/ridge treatments in addition to the roof tiles themselves. Dal-Tile does not assume responsibility for ensuring the structural viability of the building/roof system is sufficient to support Dal-Tile roofing products. It is the responsibility of the home owner, contractor, architect or engineer to ensure the structure is viable for the application of Dal-Tile products. It is recommended that the structural design of the building itself also be evaluated by a registered engineer to determine that it can support the roof. In some cases, building codes require an engineering review.

SAFETY WARNING – TILE DUST

Roofing tiles are made from clays and other mined minerals that contain naturally occurring amounts of crystalline silica (quartz) and traces of other hazardous substances. These are released as dust when dry- cutting or grinding this product and can be inhaled if proper respiratory protection is not utilized. Do not use dry cutting equipment without integral air pollution controls. Cutting roof tiles should only be done using a “wet saw”.

WARNING: Crystalline silica is a substance known to cause cancer. Other chemicals, also naturally occurring in these products are known to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Please refer to Federal and State OSHA requirements for proper compliance.

- Usetheprovided14”PerennialInterlayerunderALLTILES…Field,Hips&Ridges(maximum10’longcontinuouspieces,6”overlapatjoints).

- Use2-1/2”non-corrosiveroofingnailsORscrews.

- Whichever side of the roof plane you start laying roof tiles, make sure both ends of each coursing will have roof tileslargeenoughwithpre-drillednailholesandpre-formedbullnoseedgesexposedateitherside.Bestpracticeis to start at one end and lay at least a full tile or two, then stop in the middle of that run and re-start at the other end of the same course with full to semi-full cut piece(s). This way there is no field drilling of holes necessary. (Note: It is okay to vary the field tile sizes to keep with utilizing the provided nail holes).

- AsyouapproachtheRidges(roughly3’-5’fromreachingthetop),verifytileexposuresfortheremainingcoursesso no Field Tiles will need to be cut on the roof to fit. Doing so will mess up both the provided nail holes, as well as the factory bullnose edge. (Goal is to have a minimum of 3” Head-lap). If “Short-Coursing” is required to prevent the field cutting of the tiles, then perform this up the last few courses, all the way to the Ridge.
