Notes – Roof tiles
•
Prior to mounting, the roof tiles are to be stored undercover and out of direct sunlight. This applies in
particular to white foils. Heat may build up under a stack of tiles leading to distortion and discoloration of
the tiles due to the burning glass effect.
•
Roof tiles must not be mounted in temperatures below +5°C or above 30°C.
•
The roof tiles are to be pre-drilled with holes with a diameter = 10 mm.
•
Please note that the tiles are to be screwed into place on the front and back purlin (item 4) on every 2nd
wave, on the centre purlins (item 4) on every 3rd wave. Figure page 22
•
Use the spacers (item 22) according to the figure on page 23.
•
Please note that the screws are not to be screwed down too tightly in order to guarantee the function of
the tiles.Please note that the screws are not to be screwed down too tightly in order to guarantee the
function of the tiles.
•
Note: No false floor may be installed or thermal insulation provided below the roof tiles. There must be
adequate ventilation beneath the roof tiles.
●
In order to prevent heat build-up around the roof tiles, the upper side of the coupling purlins must be
coated with white emulsion paint or masked with aluminium foil. (Not included in the delivery.) Natural
parts lead to heat build-up that may result in cracks forming in the tiles.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Selection of the substrate
The ground under the cabin should be level, horizontal and built up. If your cabin is located near slopes and
basements, you should consult a local builder. Otherwise, there may be a risk of collapse.
The current occupational safety and accident prevention regulations are to be observed. Information can be
obtained from a builder.
The roof is only to be accessed on load-distributing boards.
When you are working on a roof, avoid the risk of falling by complying with the current accident prevention
regulations (e.g. scaffolding requirements, safety rails).
Agree the required measures and operating conditions with a local builder or competent work safety
authority. Always work with helpers!
When unpacking the loose wooden parts and when assembling the cabin, we recommend that you wear
safety boots and work gloves. When using a drill or saw, you should also wear protective goggles.
The roof is to be cleared of high snow loads (in excess of 1,25 kN/m² or approx. 65 cm in height).
