The side interlock provides for a
practical 2 mm play between the tiles
( 1 mm either way of the nominal cover)
which gives exibility when setting out
the roof and helps to achieve the correct
perpendicular alignment of the courses.

Marley high-quality Undertile Membrane is recommended in all cases.
Modern practice has demonstrated that the underlay is a fundamental part
of a tiled roof at pitches below 26 and for pitches above 45 , and at all
pitches in exposed and coastal areas.

1. The minimum pitch and minimum
headlap must not be reduced under
any circumstance. It is always
better to raise the safety factor
of the roof by adding a full course
of tiles and increasing the tile headlap
evenly on the rafter length.
2. In exposed areas the tile headlap
may be increased, but greater lap
is not as e ective as a steeper pitch.

Rafter Table
Eaves Table
The Rafter Table indicates the number of courses
to be allowed on the rafter length to ensure that
the minimum tile headlap of 100 mm or 75 mm
is obtained according to the roof pitch.
The Eaves Table shows the average linear coverage
for Double Roman tiles along the eaves length.
Calculations are given at lock mid-shufe position,
subject to standard manufacturing tolerances.
All gures are net. Wastage must be adde d.
