The British Standard for Slating and Tiling has been updated and makes some significant changes to roofing installation for any roof started after February 2015.

Marley Eternit are on hand to help you and here we set out the key changes and some of the solutions in place to help you deal with those changes

Change:  

Every single lap tile must be mechanically fixed

Changes to wind load calculations will require all single lap tiles to be mechanically fixed with either a clip or a nail

The proportion of each will depend on a number of factors which can be calculated by their fixing specification service

Solution:

Solofix – the one-piece clip and nail for all standard interlocking tiles

Clipping, with two-piece aluminium or stainless steel clips and nails, can be time-consuming, and time is money

So....

Marley Eternit has now launched the SoloFix one-piece clip and nail for all standard interlocking tiles,

providing an affordable fixing that not only installs up to 30% faster than traditional clips, but delivers outstanding strength and durability.
