Causes of Leaking Roof Tiles
The start of the rainy season can be quite stressful for some people who have just finished building a house. This is closely related to the question of whether the new roof tiles installed on the roof will leak.
This anxiety is actually unnecessary if the roof tiles have been installed according to existing standards.
Roof leaks are unlikely to occur if the tiles used are of the highest quality.
Some people still complain about why their tile roofs still leak even though they have used the highest quality tiles. Roof leaks, especially with metal tiles, are not caused by the tiles themselves, but rather by the construction of the battens and rafters, as well as improper tile installation.
Here are some problems that can cause roof tiles to leak:
The starting point for installing battens is not at right angles.
Installing the battens at wrong angles will cause the roof to be installed at wrong angles, resulting in the battens being installed misaligned, which can lead to the tiles being installed being misaligned.
Inconsistency between batten size and the tiles being installed
Inconsistency between batten and tile is the most common problem causing leaks on metal roofs. Consumers often install battens beyond the manufacturer's recommended limit, resulting in incomplete sealing. When the tiles don't seal properly, gaps can appear, which can lead to leaks during rain.
Uneven batten size across the entire roof of the building.
Consumers often use battens on buildings without adjusting the battens. This adjustment process aims to ensure uniform width. If the width of the battens differs from one another, it will affect the correct batten size for the roof tiles. If the batten size is inaccurate, the roof tiles will automatically be difficult to install properly.
