Staggering of TilesIn order to break up the line of joints visible on theroof and to enhance the aesthetic appearance, it isrecommended that tiles follow a staggered patternwhen installed. The staggered pattern is obtained bylaying every second tile, in alternate courses, with adouble side lap. The remainder of the tiles are thenlaid in the conventional way, with a single side lap.

Short Tile at RidgeWhere the last batten spacing at ridge is less than the standard 364mm, one of3 options may be applied.

Option 1 - The last tile may be shifted down and fixed through crown.

Option 2 - the last tile may be cut and bent up.

Option 3 - Instead of using a tile, a Cover Flash is cut andbent to form Quarter Tile.

Before starting to lay tiles, ensure that the entire roof support structure iscorrectly constructed and aligned. The tiles must be laid in strictaccordance with the manufacturer’s specification. Armatile™ andArmashake™ can be side-lapped either right over left or left over right.The following is recommended:1. Laps must face away from valleys or rainwater pipes discharging ontothe roof.

2. Where possible, tiles are to be laid with laps facing away from normalline of sight. Tiling should commence from the bottom of the roof.

ROOF PITCH:Armatile™ and Armashake™ should ideally be used on roof pitches of 15Oand higher, not requiring an underlay. Roofs with pitches between 12O &15O need to be installed with an SABS approved underlay.

STAGGERING OF TILES:To break up the line of joints visible on the roof and enhance the aestheticappearance, it is recommended that tiles follow a staggered pattern wheninstalled. (See centerfold)

SITE HANDLING:Tile panels must be supported clear of the ground and kept under coveruntil installed.

CLEANING UP / TOUCHING UP:The completed roof must be handed over free of any debris, with alluncovered/cut edges touched up with the same acrylic paint as that on thetiles. Areas to specifically look out for when touching-up are:• All nail heads.• All cut edges. • All flashing details: Chimney, hips, head wall, valleys, sidewalls andgable ends.

EQUIPMENT / TOOLS REQUIRED:The following is a list of tools that complete the roofer’s tool kit:Claw and Ball Hammer, Nail Pouch, Builders Line, Measuring Tape, PopRivet Gun, Metal Shears, Tin Snips, Chalk Line, Saw, Hand Benders,Angle Grinder.Tin Snips: Ideal for cutting shorter lengths of tiles required at hips, valleysand detailed flashings.PLEASE NOTE: Use Angle Grinder only if burrs and swarf will becleaned and edges touched-up.

TEXTURED COATING:A 100% pure acrylic coating is applied to both tiles and accessories duringthe manufacturing process. Small silica granules are imbedded into thetop coating, which give Armatile™/Armashake™ its textured appearance.Once the top coat is applied, the tiles and accessories are processedthrough the drying chamber for curing purposes. This acrylic coating canwithstand high ultra-violet levels and the most adverse weather conditionsincluding pelting rain and hailstorms. The elasticity of the coatingfurthermore prevents chipping and cracking in these adverse weatherconditions. It is important to note that during every stage of themanufacturing process constant laboratory tests are being carried out toensure that both local and international quality is achieved andmaintained as prescribed by the SABS 1022 standards system.

PROFILE:The tile profile is pressed in standard lengths with a granular coatingapplied to one side. Two variations are offered that allow flexibility in design:• Armatile™ (1550 x 364mm cover) in Acrylic Grit finish.• Armashake™ (1470 x 364mm cover) in Acrylic Grit finish.

SUBSTRATE:The tiles are produced from a Z200 spelter galvanised steel. Alternatively,the tiles may be manufactured from steel with a galvalume finish.

MASS AND QUANTITY:Armatile™ - 4.35 kg per tile. (1.77 tiles required per m2)Armashake™ - 4.3 kg per tile. (1.87 tiles required per m2)For Bills of Quantities, visit www.globalroofs.co.za

QUALITY ASSURANCE:GRS Boksburg (Brownbuilt), is an ISO 9001: 2008 certified operation.Quality Management Systems are regularly assessed to ensurecontinuous compliance. This ensures that Armatile™ products are of thehighest quality at all times.

Timber specifications and calculations are based on SABS graded softwoods. Battens must be spaced according to the specifications, as set outbelow. Listed below are the batten sizes for the relevant maximum trusscentres:TRUSS CENTRES:ArmatileTM & ArmashakeTM1.1 m centres - Use 38 x 38 mm battens1.2 m centres - Use 38 x 50 mm battens1.3 m centres - Use 50 x 50 mm battens

BATTEN SPACING:Roof Area: 364 mm centresEaves: 314 mm centres (variable) to allow for overhang

TRUSS CONFIGURATION:Consult a reputable Truss Manufacturer for optimum truss design andspacing the tiles are normally used with standard 114 x 38mm timber
