Hip section
To prepare the first and last tile of a hip course, measure the tile
length from the last lapping pan across the face of the batten to
the hip board or hip batten (figure 15). This is done for the top and
bottom dimension and provides the folding line. 40mm must be
added, past the bend line to mark the cut line.
The cut tiles are installed from the bottom upwards, fastening into
the front of the tile (as standard) and also at two points along the
turned up edge. In many cases the off cut from one side should be
enough material to use for the other side, reducing the amount of
material waste.
Figure 15
Valleys section
The cut tiles required to complete a course that runs into a valley are
prepared by using the same procedure as the hip. The measurements
are taken from the last matching pan to a point in the valley gutter
which allows for a minimum of 50mm clearance between tiles, but
also has an overhang of at least 50mm in the valley gutter.
Fastening the tile should reflect the standard fastening points along
the face with additional points as close to the valley as possible
without damaging the surface of the valley gutter.

MAINTENANCE
The performance of Suntile
TM
Classic over time is dependant on the correct application of the product as outlined in this brochure, on correct
product selection, and on maintenance suitable for the environment in which the product is to perform. It is important that the nails have the
same life expectancies as the roof tiles.
Suntile
TM
Classic is produced from the highest quality materials and will provide many years of service. For more information on gaining the
best performance from your product, refer to the ‘Selection Use and Maintenance’ brochure.
Barge covers
Barge covers should overlap the metal tiles and cover the side of
the barge board by a minimum of 50mm. To ensure a weather tight
seal is formed it is critical that the edge of the tile is turned up by
40mm and fastened to the barge board.
Ridge and hip caps
There are several forms of ridge caps available, all of which have
been designed to work with the up-turned edge of the tile. All ridge
tiles must be bent up by 40mm and fastened to the ridge board.
Flashings
General flashings are used to ensure a weather tight seal is created
in non-standard areas. A flashing is the final cover over a particular
joint, and should not be the only means of creating the seal.
Underneath all flashings, the tiles should (where possible) be turned
up by 40mm for a weather tight finish, additional side flashings may
be required to complete the seal. Builders and building contractors
must ensure that all flashings comply with the relevant standards,
regulations, codes and by-laws.
