LAID METHOD Visum3 roof tile is laid on a discontinuous frame or battens, which will be fixed by building a batten counter batten deck or by fixing them directly to the frame. The laying of Visum3 roof tile is carried out by broken bond (also referred as cross bond) as follows: 1. The Starter course will begin with a Half Visum3 Tile (Q95). 2. Then continue with full tiles Visum3 all the course. 3. The second course will start with a full tile and it will be laid to provide the proper vertical exposure. This exposure is continued through each successive course. Finally we will use the Pyramid Ridge Tile (Q91) to lay all the Side-courses. See Figure for sequence of installation. 7 5 3 4 2 1 8 6 INSTALLATION DETAILS RIDGE -Ridge tiles must be installed lap facing away from the prevailing winds, in order to assure water tightness. -Field tiles at top course should be secured directly either into the deck or top batten with stain-less ring screw nails or similar. -All ridges and hips shall be covered with self adhesive Alu-Roll, La Escandella Aluminum roll for hip and ridges (AM01), or similar approved breathable waterproof underlayment. Underlayment should be secured over the ridge nailer with non-corrosive roofing nails. -Apply ridge tiles with a minimum overlapping of 5 cm (2 ) through-out the ridgeline facing away from the prevailing wind-driven rain. HIP -Hip tiles must be installed in the same way as in the ridge. -Field tiles must be mitter cut parallel to the hip line and secured. -All ridges and hips shall be covered with self adhesive Alu-Roll, La Escandella Aluminum roll for hip and ridges (AM01), or similar approved breathable waterproof underlayment. -Air should be able to flow through the ridge and hip area. Be sure not to close these off with mortar or similar. Closing them off could result in cracks, peeling off,.. in freezing and thawing cycles. VALLEY -Both Valley and eave line channel are particularly vulnerable to water migration and leakage. Valleys should have a clear and unobstructed pathway for quick water drainage. -Install valley battens on each side of the valley crease. Allu Valley Tape (AM18), or similar approved adhered waterproof valley underlayment, shall be laid vertically up all valleys in addition to other required underlayment that should be fixed by using glue, resin or similar. -Where valley intersects with ridge line, apply Allu Valley Tape (AM18), or similar approved underlay-ment, which should be covered by the ridge tile. Valley should be extended along the eaves to overhang the fascia board by 5cm (2 ) or over the gutter. -Tiles should be laid parallel to the valley line, at same relative angle and should overhang the valley battens by at least 10 cm (4 ). -Tiles at each side of the valley crease should be laid to provide a minimum 15 cm (6 ) width gap (tiles should held back minimum 7.5 cm (3 ) from the center of the valley each way). -Valley tiles must be secured. -Proper Valley flashing instal-lation is required to ensure water tightness in order to avoid cracks, peeling off,
SLOPES / PITCHES The minimum pitch standard recommendations should always be followed (see values in the referral table). On all pitches below the standard recommended minimums, or in regions where ice dams may occur, a waterproof underlayment on the entire deck MUST be applied. Most problems with water-shedding roof installations occur from water that migrates through the joints of the tiles through capillary action, wind-driven rain, and runoff or ice damming. Because of this possibility, the underlayment is critical to the success of the roof. PROTECTED LOCATIONS: hollow area which is surrounded by hills that protect the hollow from the winds in all directions. NORMAL LOCATIONS: Flat area, plateau with minimal elevation changes. EXPOSED LOCATIONS: Places open to strong winds, coastal areas (up to 5 km / 3 miles from the shoreline ), islands or narrow peninsulas, estuaries or closed bays, narrow valleys, isolated mountains, mountain passes and earthquake zones. Hip Hip Hip < 6,5m 6,5m - 9,5m 9,5m - 12m < 21.32 21.32-31.16 31.16-39.37 50% / 26,5º 50% / 26,5º 55% / 29º 50% / 26,5º 55% / 29º 65% / 33º 65% / 33º 75% / 37º 85% / 40,5º Note: For hips greater than 12m (39.4 ) long, a waterproof underlayment on the entire roof deck MUST be applied. FASTENING METHODS The manner in which roof tiles are installed makes them a highly effective water shedding assembly that affords years of service and protection. The effectiveness of a tile roof system as a weather resistant assembly however depends on the proper installation of all the tile roof components, and installing them properly is critical to the performance of the installed system. A 60º - 173% B C 45º - 100% D 38º - 80% 14º - 25% E 0º - 0% A: Every tile should be securely fastened (Nailed, screwed, clipped...) (60º / 203/4:12). B: As a minimum, each tile in every five proportion, should be secured with (10 gauge) non-corrosive ring shank nails or screws (45º / 12:12). C: Each tile hangs on the batten (held by the nib) (38º / 10:12). D: Each tile hangs on the batten, held by the nib. When mortar is used, back bed and face point with color matched mortar. Clean off all excess mortar from the face of the tiles. For Foam Adhesive, refer to local building codes. E: La Escandella recommended minimum slope requirements is 30% (4:12). VENTILATION Ventilation is one of key elements to assure a good hygrothermal behavior of the roof and preservation of the roof structure. The key to a good and well preserved roof is a good ventilated roof. Proper installation of Ventilation tiles combined with ventilated roof can result in energy savings, in a more energy efficient home. Air should be able to flow through the eave and ridge; be sure not to close these off with cement, mortar or similar. Eave and ridge areas should be protected to help minimize the access of birds and vermin infiltration. A free flowing ventilation area must be provided through the roof deck. This ventilation should be evenly distributed throughout the roof space to eliminate any dead air space. La Escandella recommends a minimum of 1 Visum3 ventilation tile (Q96) for every 7 m 2 (1.32 vent tiles per 100 sq ft.) and with a minimum of 2 ventilation tiles per roof surface, installed on the upper part of the roof. Using a proper ventilation system is the best way to avoid moisture in a roof, that could cause peeling, cracking and other defects on the tile. 30 mm 1.8 (minimum) Underlayment Battens Airflow Openings at the eaves and the ridge must allow for even distribution of ventilating air below the entire roof deck.

Note 2: Underlayment materials must be covered with tile as soon as possible to prevent degradation from exposure. La Escandella warranty will be honored when installation is in strict accordance with local building codes, particularly to those referring to the ventilation of the deck and minimum slope requirements. Clay roof tiles should always be installed in full compliance with the local building codes and good tiling practice. For each country, please refer to local building codes.
