To obtain a uniform appearance of the completed tile courses, correct spacing of the tile battens
is essential. To obtain this uniformity follow the procedure detailed below.
- Measure the distance from the front edge of the fascia or tilting batten to 25 mm from face of
ridgeboard.
- In the spacing table (see section 7.3a) , find the dimension nearest to this measurement and
then note the dimension at the head of the particular column in the table. This is the required
uniform course spacing. Bear in mind that 352 mm is the maximum permissible course
spacing.
- Mark off both ends of the roof at a point 355 mm from front edge of fascia board or tilt
batten. Mark off from this point up the remainder of the rafter using the uniform course
spacing obtained from the table or adjusted slightly if necessary so as to obtain equal increments
finishing 25 mm from face of ridgeboard.
- Snap a chalk line across the top of the roof framing.
- Locate lower edge of battens on chalk lines and nail to roof framing.
