Basic installation rules

1. Evertile roof tiles are fixed with using screw-nails or screws into battens with 367 mm (COPPO 358mm) lower edge spacing . Usually battens have a profile 30x50 (2x2 in the USA), sometimes also 40x60 and they are placed flatly to truss, respectively to counter-batten.

WHEN TO CHOOSE EVERTILE LIGHTWEIGHT ROOF PANELS?

Do you like any type of Evertile, but don't know if this would be a good solution for you? EVERTILE is not only one of the top lightweight roof materials for roofs with pitches of 10 ° or 15 °. It combines the best of traditional heavy tiles and modern lightweight roofing types and surpasses them in most utility properties.

WIND RESISTANCE OF STEEL SHEET COVERINGS

EVERTILE has several times withstood the hurricanes at a speed of around 180 km/h, in the past. Sheet metal coverings do not hold on the roof by their own weight, but by attaching them to the supporting system (battens or plywood). This is a small disadvantage in assembly, but a big advantage in wind storms. Even heavy tiles can often be picked up by the wind power and scattered around the building. Well-fastened sheet metal roofing resists better. The most durable are small-format steel panels such as Evertile, which are even certified in the USA for use in the hurricane areas of Florida, using Evertile SCR TX-25 screws. Evertile products can withstand wind speeds of around 180 km/h.
