FRSA/TRI Model Tile Guidelines August 2005
PREFACE
In January, 1987, the Roof Tile Committee of the FRSA/NTRMA was commissioned to develop and writeconsensus guidelines for the installation of concrete and clay roof tiles. Recently, the National TileRoofing Manufacturers Association (NTRMA) changed its name to Tile Roofing Institute. The consensusdocument process included meetings over a period of eighteen (18) years, made up of roofing contractors,manufacturers, suppliers, academia, roofing consultants, and engineers.
These guidelines were approved by a consensus vote of participating members. These guidelines areupdated or reaffirmed by the same process at intervals not exceeding three (3) years.
These guidelines were developed to summarize for the designer, applicator or developer good roofingpractice and industry guidelines for the installation of the mechanically-set and mortar/ adhesive-set tiles,which have been developed over a period of time from actual trade practice and the requirements of variousbuilding code agencies. These guidelines may not be applicable in all geographical areas. It is theresponsibility of those individuals who are referring to these guidelines to independently research anddetermine which is best for their particular project. Accordingly, the Florida Roofing, Sheet Metal and AirConditioning Contractors Association and the Tile Roofing Institute and their members expressly disclaimany express or implied warranties or any liability for any damages or loss that might be incurred as a resultof the use of these guidelines.
