Dura V Tile

Dura”V”Tile is a premium roofing profile, that has the appearance of tiles. It is available in a range of colours and in various thicknesses. Local manufacture ensures that Dura”V”Tile is available in even the smallest quantities, and is a cut to length profile. All this highlights Dura”V”Tile as a classy, lightweight, durable and beautiful product that is ideal for the most discerning user.

Roof Pitch

Dura”V”Tile can be used on roof pitched from as low as 10° where single lengths are used (10° if end laps are used).

 
Installing Dur”V”Tile 

Dura”V”Tile is pierce fixed to steel or timber supports. This means that fastener screws pass through the sheeting. To maximize water tightness, always place roof screws through the crest of the sheeting. Always drive the screws perpendicular to the sheeting and in the center of the crest.
 
 

 
Storage And Handling

Keep the product dry and clear of the ground. If stacked or bundled product becomes wet, separate it, wipe it with a clean cloth to dry thoroughly. Handle materials carefully to avoid damage, don’t drag materials over rough surfaces or each other, don’t drag tools over material, protect form swarf. 

Cutting

For cutting thin metal on site, we recommend a circular saw with a metal cutting blade because it produces fewer damaging hot metal particles and leaves less resultant burr than a carborundam disc. Cut materials over the ground and not over other materials. Sweep all metallic swarf and other debris from roof areas and gutters at the end of each day and at the completion of the installation. Failure to do so can lead to surface staining when the metal particles rust.

 
Sealed Joints  

For sealed joints use screws or rivets and neutral -cure silicone sealant branded as suitable for use with Aluminium Zinc Coated Steel. 

Maintenance 

Optimum product life will be achieved if all external walls are washed regularly. Areas not cleaned by natural rainfall (such as the tops of walls sheltered by eaves) should be washed down every six months.
