Tile Roof Help Please
Today’s concrete interlocking flat tile roof had a couple of things I have not seen before.
The home was built in 2006.
Photo #1 is the side of the front entry to the home. The tiles do not go all the way to the wall and the underlayment is exposed. Also notice the exposed wood batts.
The tiles are secured onto wood batts with one fastener. The 2006 IRC says in areas with wind speeds over 100 MPH the tiles shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions. The tiles have two pre-drilled holes in them and are secured with only one fastener. I cant find any manufacture installation instructions that talks about fastener requirements in area with wind speeds over 100 MPH.
Should the tiles have two fasteners in each tile? I also found numerous tiles that are not secured at all.
Photo #2, are exposed fasteners about three rows up from the eave.
Thanks in advance for your help.
