Roof Tile Installation: Stop Roof Tile Loss with Redland Innofix
Вставка

- Episode 60 ~
The Code of Practice for single lap tiles now requires every tile to be mechanically fixed but roofing merchants will tell you that they sell a lot more tiles than clips, which suggests that roofers are not doing the job to code. The implication for the homeowner is that Insurance companies will refuse to pay out on storm damage claims if they find the clip has been omitted from new roofs during roof tile installation.
Redland Innofix the revolutionary new tool-free tile clip
In this episode Roger looks at the beautifully simple Redland Innofix tile clip.
Simple to fix, with less tile breakage and quicker than ever to install. It's Redland's strongest clip yet, and suitable for all UK exposures under the new BS5534:2014.

- Tool-free - simple to fix
- Unique clip magazine - tangle-free installation which can mean significant reductions in wastage on site
- Redland's strongest ever clip
- Five sizes available to suit all Redland concrete interlocking tiles
- Colour-coded for error-free identification
- Suitable for all exposure zones
- Rust-proof - lasts the lifetime of the building

Looks fancy but I'd have thought the tiles wouldn't sit flat to the next tile with that clip there.
Excellent. Thanks. Belt and braces in addition to nailing the tops
Good video, I'm fitting these tiles on my roof.
Rodger, thanks for the heads up on those clips. I have used the 'french clips on slate many moons ago, thats a great and easy way to fix slate, once fix it ain't going nowhere and not a nail in sight,. I moved to Jockland a while back into a house with those 'centurion' type concrete flat tiles on the roof. Two years ago we has the "Mother of all Storms" which lifted several tile and chucked them to deck, luckily I found a few spares which did the job, The clips used were made from light aluminium strip which was no match for 110mph wind. I shall get up there in the summer with the correct SS clips and job done.Thanks again for joggin' my memory, a job that I had forgotten about.. :0) Hugh

Thanks Mr Sceptical. Good to hear from you up there. You're right those aluminium clips are too soft. Nice little job for the summer. Even if you can't clip every single one it has got to help.
"Nice little job for the summer"? thanks and I was hoping to air the Old Triumph for a quick thrash rand the lanes this summer, dare not blink I may miss it. Better put it on the trailer take it back home to Norff Lunden to pose with it dan the Ace Cafe on a Sunday Morn and impress all the girls. Na better get on wiv them Clips… Cheers Rodger keep up the good work..
May I ask did you do the job? I live on the west coast of Ireland and presently my concrete roof tiles are doing a lot of chattering in the strong gusts. Will follow suit in the spring and am wondering how your roof is holding out this winter. I ride an old BMW r100rs myself. It gives less trouble than my roof in strong winds.
The problem with clips is if any other future maintenance is required the clips cause the edge of the tiles to crack when foot traffic is unavoidable , and then if every tile is clipped as is suggested here, the cracked tile is difficult to remove as is the replacement tile to replace which by the way you won't be able clip back. I would normally clip every second tile which is more than adequate to prevent storm damage and will aid any future maintenance.
Another problem i encountered with the plastic type clip is on a single channel tile is can cause blockages on certain water channels the flow runs into the clip and diverts the flow into the under felt causing leaks.
Hi, thanks for the comment on this thread. I am looking at replacing some cracked tiles on my bungalow. every tile has been nailed, so assuming to meet the regs, but a sod to get at, and then to secure after replacement. I take its these clips cannot be slipped in, and added for tile replacement?
@@neilbyhurst9924
Normally every second tile should only be nailed which would make replacing tiles easy. If you find it to difficult to remove a broken tile I'd recommend use a hammer to break the tile which will help you remove the nail still in place unless there is a clump of tiles in the one place in need of replacing I wouldn't worry about mechanically fixing the new tiles back onto the roof the lugg that's holds them onto the baton is sufficient.
@Neil kenny Kenny thanks for that, answers the question. Yes, I see. I did break the tile that was already cracked, or get to the nail and then just replace the unit with new and slide in. Thanks again.
@@neilbyhurst9924 I should mention you can use the channel clips back if access allows in your case with to many tiles nailed it may be to tight to get one in but yeah we'll done on the repairs. Neil from Ireland.
Good upload mate, I like seeing stuff like this even though it's not my area "plumber" it's good to know how things should be done correctly.
+joeboxer216
Thanks Joeboxer. I am also a plumber but doing lead work took me up on the roof and I have done a fair bit of roofing now. Though you can see I haven;t nailed any clips before.
Nice demo man :)
+macplastering
Thanks Mac. The hammering could have been a bit slicker but that is kind of the point about the clip.
Skill Builder I understand and can see it is awkward but dose work and I know if it was an everyday thing for you it would be much smoother :)
Great video :D
Our new build Bellway, in the loft there is many rips in the felt, it’s all at bits where these clips have been put in. I can’t understand why?!
Serious not trying to be a smart arse question here, is this any easier than just sticking nails in the top?
I've only ever done 1 roof, which was natural slate so I'm not familiar with tiles.
Hi i like your stuff, can you please let me know where your courses are based as i can't find any collage which dose this course in Nottingham.
did you find a tiling collage? I think they're called Mosaics..
they only work if your not in a high wind zone . if you are then it just snap the channels off
How do you expect we to finish a roof3 on site with those clips?
Will take weeks to finish a roof
Speed up a bit
dear Roger I need help. I have built my gable roof with your video with Dan. I'm now stuck. laying tiles they say right to left. how can I lay a left hand roof right to left if I need to end up with roof tiles with a hump on the outer edge.
You have to try and work the first course out so you start and finish with a roll. It is tricky with some tiles. One way around it is to use a dry verge which covers the end up nicely

Yet another solution looking for a problem and manufacturer's trying to screw even more dosh out of installers and customers. In a rally serious storm these things would either give up or break the tile channel...
Taking lessons on roofing from someone who can't hit a nail home with a hammer
This clips are better there has been nylon ones out for year which are a lot more versatile
Hi
Just nail your roof tile, just the same as clipping and a lot cheaper .
Whilst it is cheaper, I would sooner use nails. My old tiles used clippers and they remained securely in place for many, many years. I am now having to order new Redland tiles, simply for a new extension on my property. I've found the tiles I want at www.roofingmegastore.co.uk/roofing-brands/pitched-roofing/redland.html, but am still in search of the clips. Any recommendations?
in early 2000s we'd nail down one in every 3 rows of tiles
Teach me how to nail mate hahaha
+MrHavokman
I would get better if I did a few but now there is no need. The clip is tool free.
All these keyboard dudes dishing out critisism but can't do a video themselves.
These clips are very time consuming the last clip in video was out 30yrs ago in nylon form did exactly the same thing as the one you were showing nailing is as good and quicker and of course cheaper these tile company's come up with all these different clips to sell more products
Heath and safety crazy!!
Your in a industrial unit and wearing a hard hat, where's the head injury risk??
+addnet4
Yeah I know and they wanted me to wear gloves but I couldn't do it.
Their house so their rules. The hard hat served no purpose and it doesn't do much when you are working on a roof. Also steel toe caps aren't great when you are walking up the battens.
so what. its for theatre maybe. so that when you're on a real roof (rather than your armchair)..
you can't use this clip when the tile comes on a rafter
yes you can, just bend it out. I have done it and missing one isn't that critical
Doesn't matter. The tile next to it is clipped and will hold it down. You don't need to do every tile
How do you expect a home owner or a senior can ensure ever tile is "clipped" by the roofing contractor? Oh yeah take the word of a Queensland tradie... You must be joking!!!
bollocks
Crap
I agree with you, perhaps Skill Builder should stick to plumbing
