Protect Your Building For Years To Come With The Strongest, Most Secure Tile Roof Installation Method
Eagle’s Dual Fix Hybrid System combines the proven and verifiable security of mechanical fasteners, specifically tile screws with the added uplift resistance and walkability of single component tile adhesive. A superior installation method of attaching the roof tile to the deck, this remarkable hybrid system offers optimal wind uplift resistance and maximum durability for greater protection against the elements.
It’s ideal if you live in a region that is susceptible to Santa Ana winds, tropical storms and/or tornadoes, as the high winds associated with these pressure systems have the potential to cause a great deal of damage. The Dual Fix Hybrid System is a powerful solution that provides property owners, roofers and builders with sound peace of mind.
A Dynamic System
Far less expensive than a large paddy dual-component foam application and just as effective, this installation method consists of:
Tile Screws (Mechanical Fasteners)
Compared to nails, tile screws have the advantage of not backing out and have stronger holding abilities. Screws also self-seal as they’re driven down through the decking and a self-adhered underlayment that conforms to ASTM D-1970.
Homeowners can verify the existence of the tile screws as they are easily visible from the attic.
Polyset® RTA-1 Roof Tile Adhesive
A portable one-component polyurethane foam adhesive that is used to attach concrete roof tiles, this lightweight fastening option provides strong adhesion without penetrating the roof. In addition, it also facilitates greater walkability due to the “cushion” that the foam paddy provides creating a solid roof; lessening the risk of cracked tiles.
This foam delivers the highest level of performance, providing greater attachment strength than traditional methods. In addition, one of the biggest advantages of Polyset® RTA-1 is that it is approved for building codes in hurricane zones.
For roofing contractors, it is easy to use, quick to install and no calibration is needed. It’s an excellent choice for all new, reroof and specialty applications – and it’s also economical, yielding up to 4-6 squares depending on tile profile or bead size per 23-pound tank.
