INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

RPFL TileDek® is a new type of metal roofing sheet which requires a unique method of
installation to match its unique performance characteristics. This procedure has been
written to assist those not familiar with the product and to explain the simple installation
process.

ROOF BATTEN / PURLIN

LT
Batten sizes are determined by rafter spacing and may be subject to local building practice.
The accompanying table can be used as a guide for Approved Fiji Hardwood battens.
Battens should be fixed to the rafters in an approved manner to meet local building

regulations.

BATTEN / PURLIN LAYOUT

1. Install 1st purlin towards gutter end in line with facia. The outer edge of fascia should not
&

be above the purlin outer edge. The 1st purlin should be of equal gauge.
G

2. 2nd Purlin installation - The distance between upper edge of the 1st purlin to the upper
edge of 2nd purlin should be same as the step distance of RPFL TileDek® roofing to be
N

installed.
FI

3. 3rd and subsequent purlins - Same as 2nd purlin.

O

4. Last purlin (nearest to the ridge) to be installed where specified by designer, architect or
structural engineer. Normally 90mm to 150mm from ridge/apex point.
O

Note: In common practice, there should not be any RPFL TileDek® step allocated at the last
R

purlin as it will be covered by the ridge cap and the profile of ridge cap will provide the
impression of step.

Testing on the RPFL TileDek® roofing profile has been carried out at the James Cook Cyclone
Testing Station in Townsville, Queensland, Australia. The cyclic tests produced no observable
damage to the sheet, screws or washers (refer to Report No. TS913).
The cyclic test results have been used as a basis for development of the load span table below:
