Longrun Tiles
A long-run tile is a hybrid roof cladding providing the appearance of pressed metal tile with the fixing attributes of long-run profiled metal cladding.
The minimum pitch is 8˚, and underlay and battens are fixed in the same manner as for pressed metal tiles.
The module or step size of the profile can be adjusted, and the pitch of the tile can be varied to suit any batten spacing on an existing roof or to alter the roof appearance.
Maximum sheet length is 7 m however transverse laps are possible.
The material is pre-painted metallic coated steel with a yield strength of G250 Mpa. It is fixed with nails or screws at the front of the tile.
Sheets should be back-laid, working from right to left which prevents creep at the gutter line due to the back-step in the underlap of the profile.
Longrun tile can be curved to a 250 mm radius.
