How is the Vaillant Pitched Adjustable Roof Tile p/n: 9076 laid with the usual original clay 1930's tiles (tile size approximately 6"). I definitely need a few pointers here, rather than experiment while fitting.
Here are the sort of questions I have, looking at the thing:
- Does the valiant tile work only with some roof tiles; which ones?
- Are existing roof tiles supposed to lay over the sides and top of the valiant tile?
- the foam litter/snow guard at the top would seem to block the down flow of rainwater off the top overlapping tile; What is it I don't understand here?
- only about 4cm width exists for overlap at the sides of the valiant tile (including gully); how much should a tile overlap?
- Am I supposed to cut the tiles?
- is mastic to be used at any point?
You can see a picture of the Vaillant roof tile here: http://www.travisperkins.co.uk/p/vaillant-pitched-roof-adjustable-tile-009076/844450/3961012
Perhaps should have ordered the Vaillant Pitched Roof Lead Flashing . Manufacturers Part No: 303980 (which I had intended to but was misled buy a generic image ).
Advice based on your experience is much appreciated. CHeers,
John
