SL8 & PAN8 MECHANICALLY FIXED VERGE

SL8 Mechanically Fixed Verge

The SL8 & PAN8 Verge systems have been specifically designed to provide a simple & effective way of securely fixing SL8 & PAN8 tiles without the need for mortar.

1. Fix Battens and underlay in accordance with BS 5534. Insert the Verge Units before fully fixing the battens into place. Underlay should extend 10mm beyond the outer face of the gable structure. Battens must be cut inboard of the outer face of the gable structure by no more than 15mm (Picture 1).

2. Take the eaves unit and locate the fixing tab onto the first tiling batten. Ensure that the drainage hole at the bottom of the unit discharges into the gutter (Picture 2). Fix to the tiling batten using 2 x 20mm nails. The tab on the underside of the unit must be
   fixed to the gable structure using an appropriate mechanical fixing method.

3. Fix a continuation unit to the second tiling batten and locate the clip over the top edge of the previously fixed unit (Picture 3). Nail to the tiling batten using 2 x 20mm nails. Repeat this on each course as necessary (Picture 4).

4. At the apex, the verge units may require mitre cutting to fit. The top foam filler should be bonded, using the adhesive strips, into the verge units either side of the ridge as shown (Picture 5).

5. When tiling, all perimeter tiles must be twice mechanically fixed. Perimeter clips must be installed on each verge tile by nailing the clip through the tile nailhole when fixing the tile below (Picture 6).

6. At the top of the verge, install a Forticrete nailhole block end ridge tile to cover the apex detail. Secure in place using drive screws, washers and grommets ( (Picture 7).

For stone verge pack only – apply a verge foam to the inside edge of each unit to close off the gap between the verge unit and the uneven wall surface.
This product is not suitable for use with uneven wall surfaces or raked cut verges. Mechanically Fixed Verge Components
