The common construction methods of interlocking tiles are dry suspension and wet process. Next, the dry suspension process is mainly introduced, which is mainly used for wood structure roof and semi cement structure roof.

The following is its construction method:

Building steps:

1. Clean the roof. The roof must be washed, dried and cleaned before laying tiles.

2. Waterproof treatment. Apply self-adhesive waterproof material on the roof surface. Such as asphalt compatible with SBS or app.

3. Firstly, mark the corresponding tile hanging strip and the position of the tile strip according to the specification of the interlocking tile (cut the tile to the effective size as far as possible), then nail the supporting strip to the roof with rivets, and then nail the supporting strip to the supporting strip with galvanized nails.

Recommendations:

A. If there is a gutter, the tile hanging strip and supporting strip shall be nailed on both sides of the gutter;

B. If there is a ridge, the tiles shall be fixed along the edge of the roof.

4. Install the main tile. Fix the main tile with galvanized tile nails, from bottom to top, from the tile hanging strip on the left to the tile hanging strip on the right.

Recommendations:

A. If there is a gutter, the gutter shall be installed first;

B. When the first row of tiles is installed on the eaves, the main tiles shall extend 6 cm out of the eaves;

C. In the area where the upper part is subject to strong wind, the safety nail can be used to fix the head tile on the hanging tile strip after nailing it, and the tile nail can be used to fix it on the hanging tile strip with stainless steel wire through the head nail.

5. Install the ridge tile. Add mortar to the hanging tile strip of the roof ridge, lay the ridge tile on the mortar, interlock the tiles, and then fill the mortar connection with glue or mortar.

Suggestion: the ridge tile can also be laid on the tile hanging strip with galvanized tile nails.

6. Install the eaves interlocking tile, fill the mortar on the eaves board, then cut the eaves Boulder, and then fill the mortar gap with glue or mortar.

Suggestion: the eaves tiles can also be fixed on the eaves board with galvanized tile nails.
