Air is allowed to flow in through the lowest part of
the roof at the eaves by keeping the space between
the roof support and the tiles open. Eaves grates
and/or combs cover the space under the eaves,
preventing birds from entering the gap while
allowing air to circulate.
The combination of FLAT-5XL ceramic tiles and
SOLAR FLAT-5XL ceramic roof tiles
means
that the perimeter of the roof must always be
completed using FLAT-5XL ceramic tiles and their
complementary accessories.
6.7 Installation instructions
The installation will always be made on a double
batten system or similar to enable ventilation and
the cabling for the photovoltaic system to be laid
beneath the tiles.
Take into account that the perfect architectural
integration of the
SOLAR FLAT-5XL ceramic roof
tile
into sloping roofs is completed through the use
of FLAT-5XL ceramic tiles and their complementary
special pieces.
FLAT-5XL model tiles
must always
be installed from right to left.
The installation of the roof must always begin with
the installation of
FLAT-5XL ceramic tiles
along the eaves.
Always use
FLAT-5XL ceramic tiles
in the eaves course, in
rows next to side walls and along the ridge.
The ceramic pieces which make up the perimeter
of the roof must always be fixed to the support
structure mechanically, using screws. Never use
mortar in roofs with solar energy systems. In the case
of the
FLAT-5XL ceramic tiles
which are used for
the eaves course, in addition to mechanical fixings
we also recommend you secure the front part of
the tiles using adhesive or hooks so the tiles
at the eaves do not lift up in the event of high
winds.
We recommend the installation of ceramic edge
pieces at the sides of the roof. The installation of
roofs using
FLAT-5XL ceramic tiles
must start at
the right side with a right edge piece. Edge pieces
are specifically designed for these points of the roof
and are prepared to be watertight and for fixing to
the battens with screws.
All the tiles have two pre-drilled holes to facilitate
their fixing to the battens.
Once the area where the solar array is to be installed
has been marked out and before the installation of
the
SOLAR FLAT-5XL ceramic roof tiles
, install
the eaves course using
FLAT-5XL ceramic tiles
,
starting at the right side of the roof. Continue by
installing the second row of tiles from the right side
of the roof using a half
FLAT-5XL tile
first and then
whole
FLAT-5XL ceramic tiles
until reaching the
area marked out for the solar array. The installation
of the half
FLAT-5XL tile
at the start of the second
row ensures the recommended staggered pattern
is created, which should be continued by using a half
FLAT-5XL tile
at the start of alternate rows.
