Also, tiles are 18" long and the maximum exposure is 7"? The minimum exposure is 6"?

18" - 7" = 11" tile headlap?????

DANG ... that sure is some headlap (when you are used to a 3" headlap for 18" long concrete tiles).

If installed with the recommended 6" headlap, the roof will be three friggin' tiles thick! With that, heck, why even install any underlayment?
