Aqua Tile
Ensure tiles are cleaned before installing the Aqua Tile flashing to ensure the BUTYL adhesive can have maximum effect when bonded to the tiles.
Cut the rubber cone at least 15mm smaller than the bracket/anchor outside diameter with a sharp knife or scissors.
Halfway peel back the lining from the underside of the Aqua Tile, so that the bracket or anchor is given access to the rubber boot.
Lubricate bracket or anchor with water and slide the Aqua Tile down.
Form an anti-capillary fold at the top of the base sheet.
Remove the remaining protective backing from the underside of the Aqua Tile, that is covering the butyl adhesive.
Hand form the base all around the tile and apply pressure to the Aqua Tile base, so that the full butyl adhesive sticks to the tiles.
Roof Extenda works with its manufacturers to produce a quality product. Roof Extenda has both electroplated mild steel & 316 marine grade stainless steel brackets available.
The zinc electroplated brackets have a top coating. Roof Extenda cannot provide any guarantees on the lifetime of the brackets and recommends the following:
- Check brackets annually.
- Clean and coat if required with a cold galvanized paint which can be purchased at most hardware stores. This can be easily applied to the exposed surfaces of the brackets.
- If brackets show signs of corrosion they can be replaced by a builder.
If installing Roof Extenda brackets in highly corrosive areas we recommend the home owner considers using Roof Extenda’s 316 marine grade stainless steel brackets. Stainless steel brackets can still show signs of corrosion and should be checked annually.
