Preparing for installation

Choose the right materials
Opt for quality metal tiles, such as the one produced by Wetterbest. Make sure you have all the necessary accessories: screws, sealing strips, corner profiles and other complementary elements.
Check the roof structure
Before installation, check that the structure is solid and can support the weight of the metal tile. Repair any defects or intertwine the structure if necessary.

Stages of metal tile installation

Installation of the support system
It begins by mounting the horizontal slats on which the metal tile will be fixed. They must be well aligned to ensure a uniform fit.
Installation of the first panel
nstallation begins from the bottom of the roof, usually from right to left. The first panel is crucial, as its correct alignment will influence the appearance and stability of the entire roof.
Fixing the next panels
The next panels overlap the previous one to ensure tightness. Use special screws for fastening, placed in the points recommended by the manufacturer.
Fitting the accessories
After installing the main panels, install the accessories such as ridges, curbs and other decorative elements. They not only improve the appearance, but also protect the roof from infiltration.

Tips for a successful installation

Work safely
Make sure you have the right protective equipment: helmet, safety harness and non-slip shoes. Your safety is a priority!
Check the alignment constantly
