Tiles Laying
The Romane from TBF roof tile should be laid from the left to right [see tiles numbers beside].
Batten size: width-50mm, height-25mm
Tiles nailing: on 45 degree roof pitch [or over], or under very windy conditions, the tiles should be partially fixed. Ask for recommendations. Use 2 inch nails. |

Ridge End
They are fixed on the wider part of the ridge [large diameter] to ensure perfect stability. If you happen to finish on a male end, the entire ridge will have to be shifted with a ridge tile cut in half. The ridge should therefore start with the female end of the ridge. |

Dry Ridge Fixing
Dry ridge fixing is easy and safe with the exclusive TBF under ridge with variable gauge from 340mm to 390mm [365mm + 25].
Benefits: Fast laying - safe from cement leakage and from fungus growth on concrete seals. |

Laying Valleys
The Valley must be wide enough to allow the cleaning and removal of debris.

Ventilation
Romane profiles will provide natural ventilation with our large hump allowing better air circulation. In addition, clay, being a poor conductor of heat, will reduce interior temperature by 2-3 degree celcius* as compared to a roof using concrete tiles.
