ACCESSORIES:

INSTALLATION METHOD:

  1. Position the first tile on the batten with the crown facing up and center the tile from side to side. Drive a 10d nail at the base of the Mangalore tile into the batten. Don't overdrive the nail. Verify that the tile overhangs the end of the batten by two inches.
  2. Add some mortar underneath the first clay tile to provide additional support.
  3. Install another tile atop the inner end of the first. Measure from the outer end and adjust the end of the second tile.
  4. Nail the second tile to the batten in the same way you installed the first one.
  5. Place two tiles to the opposite end of the ridge and install them as you did with the previous one.
  6. Measure the distance across the ridge from the outer ends of the first tiles at each end of the ridge. Subtract 16 inches and divide the result by 8 to determine the number of tiles to install.
  7. Start at the second tile at one end of the ridge. Install the tiles toward the center of the ridge from end to end and install half the number of ridge tiles. Work from the opposite end and install the remaining tiles to the center of the ridge. A key tile installs at the center of the ridge with mortar.
