We have been asked again recently about the LightWeight Tiles Roofing System Step by Step Installation. I am going to use this blog to hopefully show you some step by step images with a write up about what was done and how. The images are from one of our approved installers John Sanders who have been so kind to send us the installation process. I hope you find this blog useful. If you have any information that could be included here to help the next customer please feel free to contact us.
Firstly, you have to consider whether this is going to be a complete re-roof or an over roof conversion. Our LightWeight roofing system is suitable for either solution.
So, this first conservatory roof is a complete re roof.

Completing the insulation stage, the installer has finished it of by plastering over the top of the insulation. This now completes the installation of the insulation. Once the plaster is dry you can decorate it to your preference.

As you can see our tiles have now been installed. This customer chose one of our most popular granulated colours in Slate Grey.
So, when installing LightWeight Tiles, we recommend starting from the bottom up. One of the benefits of our tiles are the fact they can be walked upon without causing any damage, which makes the installation easier.
