A non-penetrating fastening system is defined as securing tile to the roof in a manner that limits the number of tile fastener penetrations into the waterproofing membrane, (The average "S" tile will create from 75 to 100 holes in the waterproofing when installed using nails), the penetrations that do occur, are sealed and the integrity of the waterproofing maintained. Non-penetrating systems evolved to secure the tile to the roof and to protect the waterproofing.
Quick Jump: SST-1 Metal Strap | Hook and Loop System
SST-1 Metal Strap
The SST-1 is the oldest style of non-penetrating tile fastening systems. Originally manufactured in 250 foot rolls, modified to custom "batten" lengths,from one inch wide metals. Designed for ease of installation, as when applied to slopes greater than 9/12, the SST-1 is many an installer's choice. When mated to the Jiffy Tie wires, the economics of speed are evident. Clearly one of the industries most successful non-penetrating methods, adaptable to just about any tiling situation.
Applicable to all styles of tile and decking substrates. Applicable from 2/12 to 24/12.
Available in Copper, Brass, Stainless steel and H.D. Galvanized steel. Standard length - 10 foot per piece.
(May be ordered in longer or shorter lengths). Packaged as required per project usage. Applicable to California
Title 24. Items disk anchors,
tie wire, and jiffy tie wire are applicable.
Hook and Loop System
Invented by a tile roofer in the early 1900's, with a formed loop at one end, a length of wire set
from 11 to 17 inches, (Depending on the tiles required exposure), in the center, and a hook at the other end,
gives the #104 Hook and Loop it's unique look and function. The Loop end is set from the underside of the tile,
up thru the nail hole, with the length of the fastener set to run the underside length of the tile. Taking another
Hook and Loop, lock the hook end into the exposed loop of the first fastener and tile, set another tile over this
fastener, loop end up thru the nail hole and off you go! It's faster then it can be described in print. Attaching
to the deck at an average 10 foot on center limits deck membrane penetrations. Stronger and safer for securing the
cover section of two-piece "cap and pan" tiles then the use of a long tile nail, the fastest "S" tile wire fastening
system known, the Hook and Loop is a technique that provides the designer and contractor the best of what each values.
