How to Install Spanish Style Metal Roofing - Stile

[@jenniferwooten3121]

This roofing system looks amazing!!!!! Such good information. It makes me want to run out and put one on my house!!!!

[@aleman86]

Is underlayment not necessary for this roofing system? what about battens?

[@metalroofinguniversity7839]

Underlayment should definitely be used. We recommend a synthetic underlayment, with ice & water shield at eaves and valleys, but follow your local building code. This system is typically installed over solid decking. You can in some cases go over battens, but they must be spaced quite specifically due to the tile steps..

Is 1x4 okay spaced same as cedar shake? Or full plywood

[@metalroofinguniversity7839]

Full plywood is preferred for this system, with underlayment underneath. There are a few ways to go over 1x4s, but they require very specific planning on both spacing on the first row and rows beyond that.

@@metalroofinguniversity7839 I'm full journeyman carpenter bc Canada now relocated Sierra Leone. No plywood here but 1x14 mahogany zebra wood . A yellow ironwood oaklikewood . Wahy hard I can screw into it I need to predrill. I thought one strip top n bottom I see they use strapping here but I'm doing trusses . They have no idea on truss . Small side roof for ground level apartment. Our main is above and I see 400k to make it

@@ianjaeger4178 Generally if spaced you would place it directly below the step of the tile. Fasteners should predrill, though since they have a cast zinc head you may want to use a spring nut set drive instead of magnetic. Again still have concern with going over open frame due to condensation issues - modern homes typically require solid decking, an underlayment, etc... for the sake of moisture.

How do you work / access the roof when the pitch is great than 8/12

[@metalroofinguniversity7839]

First, a fall protection is always recommended when working on a roof - typically anchored near the ridge for new installation. second, there are options such as SteelWalker magnetic boots that assist in walking on metal roofing. Call Best Buy Metals for pricing - 800-728-4010
