Ceramic tile and ventilated roof.
We work with UM Canudo tiles from Umbelino Monteiro and with ventilated roof principles when the project requires them: an air layer between the substrate and the tiles, with inlets at the eaves and outlets at the ridge.
- Tile
- UM Canudo — channel and cap tile
- Coverage
- About 30 tiles per m²
- Battens
- Typical spacing 35 cm
- Laps
- 10 cm longitudinal · 5 cm transverse
- Ventilation
- Air layer from eaves to ridge, when indicated
Typical build-up
- 01Timber or steel structure
- 02Lining or support board, when applicable
- 03Underlay or vapour barrier, according to the design
- 04Counter-battens and battens — ventilated grid for a ventilated roof
- 05Channel and cap tiles (canal tile)
- 06Ridge, valleys and eave flashings
The final build-up is defined after assessing the structure, pitch and condition of the existing roof.
