This Installation Manual is the minimum standards for the installation standards of the Lama roof tiles but is
not part of local standards or governmental requirements. In all situations where local building authority
requirements are enforceable, its precedence should take place. The information and illustration provided

manual to find and obtain the latest edition of the manual, if any and must be used in conjunction with

The durability and the long term performance of a tiled roof depends to a large extend on the standards of
the installation workmanship which will lead to leakages or high breakages should insufficient standards are
applied. All installations using higher quality materials with higher level of insurance such as additional
head lap or fastenings are allowed. Lama strongly suggests the installation of all Lama roof tiles using Lama
manufactured or supplied roof accessories and cappings as these products are designed for, tested and
proven to be used with our tiles, otherwise, may result in the void of warranties.
