Problems needing attention in roofing tile laying

It is generally difficult to prevent leakage if tiles are laid directly on the roof. This paper will introduce the matters needing attention in laying tiles on the roof to help you avoid water leakage and other problems.

Do waterproof construction first.

If tiles are laid directly on the roof without waterproof construction first, water will leak out from the cracks in the tiles. Only after waterproof construction and water leakage test are done on the roof can the purpose of leakage prevention be achieved.

Check flatness

When laying tiles on the roof, in order to avoid the hollowing of tiles, we should first check the flatness of the roof in detail. If the roof is uneven, cement mortar should be used to repair the uneven position first. When the cement mortar is dry, you can lay tiles.

Adjust flatness in time

After the tiles on the roof are laid, you should knock around the tiles with a hammer in time so as to adjust the flatness of the tile surface to a suitable position. Don't wait for the cement mortar to dry before adjusting, because it can't be adjusted at this time.

Pay attention to the size of the gap

When laying tiles on the roof, there are usually gaps between tiles, neither too big nor too small. Too large a gap will easily affect the overall decoration effect, and too small a gap will easily lead to tile collapse.
