Installation Tips (Critical for Contractors)

  • Always install waterproof layer before battens
  • Use treated wooden battens or galvanized steel battens
  • Use treated (galvanized or anti-corrosion) hollow steel tubes (tubes) for the structure
  • Fix tiles mechanically in windy areas (screws or clips)

Ensure:

  • Proper alignment
  • Overlapping according to manufacturer specs
  • Install ridge caps and side closures properly
  • Add gutters (recommended) to avoid water splash
  • Use end caps (plugs) for hollow tubes to prevent water, dust, and insects, and to protect steel from internal corrosion

💧 Gutters

  • It is recommended to use high-quality aluminum or galvanized gutters for corrosion resistance
  • Gutters must be sized properly according to roof water load and rainfall intensity
  • Install with correct slope to ensure smooth water drainage without standing water
  • It is recommended to add leaf guards to reduce clogging and maintenance

🧱 Roof Tile Type

  • Best option is high-density clay roof tiles for durability and long-term performance
  • Prefer tiles with a strong interlocking system to prevent water leakage
  • Dark colors suit modern designs, while earthy tones suit classical architecture
  • Ensure tiles are weather-resistant and capable of thermal expansion handling

🌲 Roof Timber (if used)

  • Use treated timber resistant to moisture and insects
  • Recommended types:
    • Treated pine wood
    • Heat-treated or engineered timber
  • Must be properly isolated from moisture using waterproof layers
  • For exterior applications, it is preferable to replace timber with a galvanized steel structure for higher durability and lifespan

🛠️ Installation Tips

🛠️ Installation Tips 

🔩 1 Steel Structure Installation

  • Ensure full leveling before any roofing work
  • All steel must be:
    • Galvanized OR painted with anti-rust system
  • Use treated hollow tubes with end caps (plugs) to prevent:
    • Water entry
    • Rust formation
    • Insect accumulation

🧱 2 Waterproofing System

  • Waterproofing layer must be installed before battens
  • Overlaps must follow manufacturer specs
  • All joints must be sealed properly

✔ Critical point:
Any failure here = future leakage inside closed balcony


🪵 3 Battens Installation

  • Use:
    • Treated timber OR galvanized steel battens
  • Must be aligned perfectly with slope
  • Fixed securely to avoid vibration noise

🧱 4 Roof Tile Installation

  • Fix tiles mechanically:
    • Screws or clips (mandatory in exposed areas)
  • Ensure:
    • Correct overlap system
    • No gaps between tiles
    • Proper alignment in all rows

✔ Edge zones:

  • Increase fixing density (wind resistance zones)

🪟 5 Aluminum Windows & Doors Installation

Correct sequence:

  1. Structural completion
  2. Waterproofing completion
  3. Roof installation
  4. Aluminum installation

Critical points:

  • Use flashing between roof and aluminum frame
  • Apply:
    • PU sealant (weather resistant)
    • EPDM sealing tape
  • Avoid direct contact steel ↔ aluminum without insulation layer

✔ Goal:
Zero leakage at roof-wall junction


💧 6 Gutters Installation

  • Install after roof completion
  • Ensure:
    • Correct slope
    • Strong fixation points
    • No reverse slope (very common mistake)

✔ Add:

  • Leaf guard system (recommended)

🔥 Common Mistakes (Very Important)

  • ❌ Installing aluminum before waterproofing
  • ❌ No flashing between roof and windows
  • ❌ Using untreated steel or wood
  • ❌ Weak slope (<25°)
  • ❌ Poor edge sealing
  • ❌ Missing gutter system or wrong slope
  • ❌ No thermal insulation (results in overheating space)

    • Prevent internal rust
    • Prevent insect accumulation

🧱 2 Waterproofing Layer

  • Install before battens
  • Ensure:
    • No punctures
    • Proper overlaps
    • Full coverage of slopes and edges

🪵 3 Battens System

  • Use:
    • Treated timber OR galvanized steel battens
  • Must follow:
    • Exact tile spacing requirements
    • Perfect alignment

🧱 4 Roof Tile Installation

  • Mechanical fixing is mandatory:
    • Screws or clips (especially on edges)
  • Ensure:
    • Proper overlap system
    • No misalignment
    • Strong fixing at wind zones

🧱 5 Interior Ceiling Integration (Important for Living Rooms)

  • Recommended system:
    • Gypsum board suspended ceiling
  • Space between roof and ceiling used for:
    • Insulation layer
    • Electrical wiring
    • Air gap for thermal control

✔ Benefit:
Clean interior finish + hidden technical layers


💧 6 Drainage System

  • Install gutters with correct slope (1–2%)
  • Ensure water is directed away from façade
  • Prefer:
    • Hidden gutters for modern design
    • Or aluminum external gutters for maintenance access

⚠️  Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • ❌ Weak insulation or no insulation
  • ❌ Missing vapor barrier layer
  • ❌ Poor waterproof membrane installation
  • ❌ No mechanical fixing in windy areas
  • ❌ Using untreated timber or non-galvanized steel
  • ❌ Ignoring acoustic performance (causes rain noise issues)
  • ❌ Poor integration with interior ceiling system
