Fixing: Aluminium Nail 50mm x 3.35mm or Acetol Clip with 50mm Nail

Tiles should be fixed in accordance with BS 5534:2003. Forticrete recommend that fixers of all slates and tiles regard the products as fragile as stated in BS8000:Pt6:1990 Section 5. During installation of the products, the correct setting out and working procedures should be employed to avoid walking directly on to products which have been fixed or are on any completed area of a roof.
Should it be necessary to gain access via the roof where battens of adequate strength cannot be used as footholds, this should not be attempted without the use of adequate protection to the tiles or slates including the required number of crawling boards, ladders and cat ladders.
Please note that where there is a change of pitch, packing may be required between crawling boards, cat ladders and the surface of the tiles or slates to avoid damage to the product. Fixers should note that Forticrete do not recommend the practice of cutting tiles or slates in-situ. Other information can be obtained from the Health and Safety in Roofwork publication HSG33 and document IND G284. Reference should also be made to the Forticrete Technical Literature and Fixing Instructions.

Where an exact colour match is critical, you are advised to view actural tile samples.
