Vertical tiling junction with roof verge – Sussex cutting
Fix an additional batten onto the face of the vertical tiling battens and parallel to the verge to allow fixing of cut tiles.
Form raking cuts using tile-and-a-half tiles as necessary.
Fix the edge tile close to the undercloak/soffit, securing by spot bedding and double nailing into the raking batten.
Soldier course
Vertical tiling beneath verges less than 35° roof pitch can be weathered by nailing a soldier course of eaves tiles to a raking batten fixed close to the undercloak/soffit. The raking batten should be positioned to allow the tiles to hang properly on their nibs.Spot bedding is recommended to prevent wind damage.
A cover flashing can be used to provide extra weathering over the soldier course tiles’ nailholes and to the apex.
Double Soldier Course
Vertical tiling beneath verges less than 35° roof pitch can be weathered by nailing a double soldier course of tiles/eaves tiles to raking battens fixed close to the undercloak/soffit. The raking battens should be positioned to allow the tiles to hang properly on their nibs.
Spot bedding is recommended to prevent wind damage.
A cover flashing can be used to cover the soldier course tiles’ nailholes and to the apex.
