The stainless steel roof tile, in its possible configurations (Lusa, Sol, etc.) allows direct replacement for a conventional roof tile. During installation should be aware for the roof slope, so that the roof tile can be produced with corresponding inclination (the standard roof tile has 17º). The stainless steel roof tile replaces the use of the adjustable flashing+storm collar and ensures complete waterproof and no need to use silicone or clamping. 

HOW TO INDICATE THE ROOF SLOPE:

For the production of a tile with the exact slope of the roof, it is necessary to provide the inclination in degrees or percent. 

The illustration on the left shows how to make the measurement of the slope in percent.

For this purpose, should measure 100 cm in the ground. Then, at this point measures the heightfrom the floor to the roof tile (obtains the X).

Therefore, know that the roof has as lope X/percent.

Example: x = 30 - then we have an inclination of 30% which gives around 17º.

Note: slope in percentage isn't the same of slope in degrees.
