4) Fixing Tile Bracket to Rafters
Fix the tile brackets to the slate tiles using Clenergy provided 2x Buildex
14-gauge Hex Head Zips screws as shown in the figure on the right
following the Buildex screws installation guide below:
- Use a 3/8" Hex Socket.
- Use a mains powered or cordless screw driver with a drive speed of
3,000 RPM maximum.
- Fit the driver bit into the screw and place at the fastening position.
- Apply consistently firm pressure (end load) to the screwdriver until the
screw is fastened.
Use wooden packers to lift the tile bracket so that the base does not
rest on the tile, as shown in Figure 4.1.4B.
5) Apply flashing around Tile Bracket
For prevention of water leakage, it is important to using flashing to
secure the installation against rainwater.
Cut out lead flashing to fit the profile of the tile bracket. Cover the
bracket with the flashing and fix it to the batten with a nail, as shown in
Figure 4.1.5.
Note: It is recommended to use lead flashing for their durability and
ability to withstand corrosion.
