When moving around on the roof, please ensure that safety is of concern and should be done with extreme caution. Tiles breakages may occur if the roofing tile are stepped on the wrong areas. These damages may extend to damages to the house or building via broken debris or infliction of personal injury. The stepping pressure point of the tile should only be applied to the Headlap / Head Overlap areas, near the nose of the tile. In any event, please avoid stepping on the Coverlock / Overlock as there are tendencies for this part of the tile to break if excessive load is applied to and please avoid stepping on the centre of the tile which is not supported by the roofing structures.
STEPPING POINTS FOR TILES LAID IN A STRAIGHT BOND METHOD:
STEPPING POINTS FOR TILES LAID IN A CROSS BOND OR STAGGERRED METHOD:
The weight of a person standing on the roof as well as the weight of the tile itself is supported by the battens of the roofing tile just beneath the suggested stepping point. This point is where the load is distributed to near the bearing points of the tile. Stepping on other points may result in the tile breaking, cracking or developing a hairline fracture which may cause leakages further down the line.
