Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of fixing roof tiles and/or to a roof tile.
  • Traditional slate tiles are attached to a building member via two nails inserted in the top of a tile. The lower edge of the tile is then attached to a lower tile via a clip.
  • Traditional slates provide inefficient coverage of a roof as each slate overlaps about 50% of the previous slate. Waterproofing relies merely on this large overlap. Also fixing the tiles is complicated as nails and clips need to be selected in order to fix the tiles.
  • the invention consists in a method of fixing tiles to provide a roofing structure, comprising the steps of positioning one or more tiles so as to overlap other adjacent tiles, and fixing at least some of said tiles to one or more underlying building members by fixing means engaged with fixing apertures, slots, or knockouts in said tiles, each said tile having at least one said fixing means in common with an adjacent tile.
  • the invention consists in a roofing tile having at least one fixing aperture, slot, or knockout at or adjacent each of two edges thereof, said fixing apertures, slots, or knockouts being so positioned that a pair of said tiles may be overlapped and fixed to a building member by engaging a fixing means with one of said apertures, slots, or knockouts on one said tile and a second of said apertures, slots, or knockouts on a second said tile and anchoring said fixing means to a building member.
  • the tile can be produced in a range of materials, such as concrete, terracotta and a variety of filled or unfilled polymers or other suitable materials. It may be produced by a variety of methods such as casting, pressing and moulding and may be shaped by pressure, heat, vibration, or other physical means and cured by a variety of chemical or physical means, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
  • Fixing for the tiles is provided in a minimum of two positions, at or adjacent to each of two edges respectively of the tile such as rear edge 1 and side edge 2.
  • the fixing positions may comprise apertures, slots, knockouts or the like suitable for engagement by tile fixing means.
  • the tile is thinned locally in the fixing area in such a way that the aperture can be readily produced by punching, drilling or other mechanical methods on site.
  • the fixing position on side edge 2 is preferably adjacent to the intersection of side edge 2 with front edge 4.
  • the fixing positions suitably comprise fixing slots, apertures or knockouts 5 and 6.
  • One or more fixing apertures 6 or knockouts are positioned on a side lug 7.
  • the rear fixing points 5 can be provided in multiple positions so as to give adequate security to the tile although it is envisaged that normally a total of three fixing positions per tile would be utilised. With reference to the embodiment shown in Figure 1, for example, the two rear fixing points 5 together with one of the side fixing points 6 may be utilised.
  • the fixing positions are so located on the tiles that when the tiles are positioned to form a roofing structure in overlapping courses, at least one fixing position on a first tile can be aligned with a fixing position on an adjacent tile so that the two tiles can be fixed by a common fixing means.
  • the fixing means 8 for the tiles can be provided in a variety of ways by proprietary or special purpose fixings, or for example can comprise nails, screws, lugs, rivets, fixing tabs as shown in Figure 3 or other suitable fixing means 8, which can be engaged with the tiles and anchored to a building member 9 such as a batten or continuous decking.
  • the fixing means can comprise upstanding lugs or projections punched out from and integral with the batten or other building member, which may for example comprise a roll form metal batten.
  • the tile or tiles is be positioned so as to drive the batten lug through the tile at the fixing position and the top of the lug is then bent over to secure the tile.
  • a further option is the use of a large headed nail or the like, driven into the building member closely alongside a tile at a fixing position.
  • the head of the nail, overlapping the edge of the tile, serves to secure that tile.
  • the fixing means 8 can readily comprise nails driven through the apertures or knock outs 5 and 6.
  • the tile will have a side drainage channel 15 overlapped by a lip or overhang 16 on the neighbouring tile. Additional side drainage channels 17 may be added to the first drainage channel 15 in order to carry away any water over-spill.
  • water baffles 18 Adjacent the top or rear edge 1, water baffles 18 may be incorporated to break the up-flow of wind-driven rain between tiles. In order to achieve a labyrinth effect, a further baffle or baffles indicated by the dotted lines at 19 may be added to the underside of the tiles. The front edge 4 of the upper tile of an overlapped pair of tiles will act as the first baffle in a labyrinth.
  • the baffles 18 and 19 are preferably angled at their top faces to provide water run off.
  • each tile is preferably strengthened by one or more ribs shown in dotted outline at 20 which may be relieved locally for example at 21 in Figure 2 to clear the weather baffle on an overlapped tile, or alternatively the baffles can be provided in sections so as to avoid the rib or ribs on the underside of the upper overlapped tile.
  • a rear rib shown in dotted outline at 22 of a local or continuous nature can be provided. This can be used to positively locate the tile on either battens or continuous decking.
  • a further preferred feature is a raised area 24 around the perimeter of the fixing apertures or knockouts so as to provide further resistance against water penetration.
  • a series of fixing ramps 25 or alternatively localised pips or projections 26 can be provided on the underside of the tiles, so as to act as bearers on the batten or decking and make up for the discrepancy in height between each tile under surface and the batten or deck adjacent to the fixing points.
  • the courses of tiles are positioned so that adjacent tiles are overlapped from top to bottom and laterally and the tiles are fixed to the building structure by way of fixing means 8 in a minimum of two positions for each tile.
  • fixing means 8 passes through a side aperture 6 of an upper tile and then through a top edge aperture 5 of a tile in a lower course.
  • Each tile has at least one fixing means 8 in common with another tile in the stack.
  • the fixing means are positioned through the apertures, slots, knockouts or the like 5, 6 in the tiles, pairs of fixing apertures, slots, knockouts or the like 5 and 6 being aligned in overlapping tiles.
  • the fixing means are anchored to building members 9 such as battens, decking or the like.
