Questions & AnswersI'm Tom Shean and today on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to install a metal roof. All panels are fastened through the front lip with a minimum of four fasteners per panel. Building codes or special conditions may require more, please check local codes or our technical department for these requirements. Continental tiles are fastened 1 1/4 off the center of the trough. Do not put a fastener at the extreme left edge of the panel as it will buckle the overlapping side joint. Shadowline panels are fastened in the center of the profile indents. Shake tiles are fastened in the 4 inch or 8 inch lower sections a minimum of 1 inch away from the joint pockets. We recommend all bottom or eave course tiles be fastened through the top of the panel into the fascia board or eave batten to better provide wind up lift protection. If using nails the head should be cocked and sealed with acrylic and granules. The back of the cut tiles of the ridge are fastened through the top of the lower areas into the support framing underneath. Please ensure the fastener is located underneath the ridge trim. The eave course of panels is left off until all other areas of the roof are complete. So it's to minimize foot traffic on the installed product. Please install the highest roofs first to minimize traffic on the lower roofs.
