Design & colour variety

for modern and vanguard
architecture
The Galaxy finished is a metallic
color that can have a diamond
effect, like a brightness variation
of each tile according to the sun
exposure.

Colour variations within one batch, affecting the whole of that batch and produced specifically
for aesthetic reasons, are permissible.

For tiles of one single colour, variations in color due to the ceramic process itself are accepted.

We advise not to mix tiles from different batches on the same roof section.
TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES

1 LOWER ABSORPTION AND HIGHER

FROST RESISTANCE
· Water absorption on Klinker H-Cassette tiles is
lower than 5%.
· Higher resistance to ice and mildew.

2 INTERLOCKING
· 50mm interlocking > Large drainage rib.
· Bigger watertightness.

3 NAIL HOLE
· Pre-hole (easy to be nailed)
· Less tile breakages when nailing.

4 HOOK ATTACHMENT
· Sawtooth.
· Easy hook fixing; one hook allows to fix 3
roof tiles at same time

LAID METHOD

Planum roof tile can be laid on a continuous frame, which has to be completely flat in order to ensure the right laying of tiles and their
fixing components (to avoid water-leaking); or on a discontinuous frame or battens (CAM068, CAM042, CAM043, CAM044), which will
be fixed by building a batten counter batten deck or by fixing them directly to the frame.

The laying of Planum roof tile is carried out by broken bond (also re-ferred as cross bond) as follows:

1. The starter course will begin with the Planum right side course
(Rake trim - Q88*K) from the eave to the ridge (Q02*K, Q90*K,
C8 Q110*K, Q120*K, Q145*K).
A5
C7 C4 2. The starter course will begin with a full tile (B1). The tiles structur-
ing the eave will have to overlap the side course and fit together one to
C6 A4
C3 another. The second course will be started with half tile (Q85*K) - (C1)
and will be laid to provide the proper vertical exposure. This exposure
C5 A3
C2 C1 is continued through each successive course.
B5 B4
B3 A2
B2
B1 3. All joints of the second course and succeeding courses should be at
the center line of the previous course, alternating half tiles (Q85K) and
A1 full tile at the start and at the end of each course (Q89*K).
 TIP
Widthwise or lengthwise laid suggested in the technical catalogues are
theoretical. The roofer must calculate the real widthwise or lengthwise
laid of the tiles to be installed according to the methods defined in the
rules in force in our installation manual.

Tiles are manufactured with natural components and fired at high tem-
perature which generates small dimensional variations.

INSTALLATION DETAILS
RIDGE

-Ridge tiles must be installed lap facing away from the prevailing winds, in order to as-
sure water tightness.
-Field tiles at top course should be secured directly either into the deck or top batten with
stainless ring screw nails or similar.
-All ridges and hips shall be covered with self adhesive Alu-Roll (CAM01, CAMF1, CAM09,
CAMF9) or similar approved breathable waterproof un- derlayment. Underlayment
should be secured over the ridge nailer with non-corrosive roofing nails.
-Apply ridge tiles with a minimum overlapping of 5 cm (2”) throughout the ridgeline fac-
ing away from the prevailing wind-driven rain.

HIP

-Hip tiles must be installed in the same way as in the ridge.

-Field tiles must be mitter cut parallel to the hip line and secured.
-All ridges and hips shall be covered with self adhesive Alu-Roll (CAM01, CAMF1, CAM09,
CAMF9) or similar approved breathable waterproof underlayment.
- Air should be able to flow through the ridge and hip area. Be sure not to close these off
with mortar or similar. Closing them off could result in cracks, peeling off.., in freezing
and thawing cycles.

VALLEY

-Both Valley and eave line channel are particularly vulnerable to water migration and
leakage. Valleys should have a clear and unobstructed pathway for quick water drainage.
-Install valley battens on each side of the valley crease. Alu-roll Valley (CAM18), or simi-
lar approved adhered waterproof valley underlayment, shall be laid vertically up all val-
leys in addition to other required underlayment that should be fixed by using glue, resin
or similar.
-Where valley intersects with ridge line, apply Alu-roll Valley (CAM18), or similar ap-
proved underlayment, which should be covered by the ridge tile. Valley should be extend-
ed along the eaves to overhang the fascia board by 5cm (2”) or over the gutter.
-Tiles should be laid parallel to the valley line, at same relative angle and should over-
hang the valley battens by at least 10 cm (4”).
-Tiles at each side of the valley crease should be laid to provide a minimum 15 cm (6”) width
gap (tiles should held back minimum 7.5 cm (3”) from the center of the valley each way).
-Valley tiles must be secured.
-Proper Valley flashing installation is required to ensure water tightness in order to
avoid cracks, peeling off,...

SLOPES / PITCHES
The minimum pitch standard recommendations should always be followed (see values in the referral table). On all pitches below the
standard recommended minimums, or in regions where ice dams may occur, a waterproof underlayment on the entire deck MUST be ap-
plied. Most problems with water-shedding roof installations occur from water that migrates through the joints of the tiles through capillar-
ity action, wind-driven rain, and runoff or ice damming. Because of this possibility, the underlayment is critical to the success of the roof.

areas should be protected to help minimize the access of birds

A free flowing ventilation area must be provided through the roof
deck. This ventilation should be evenly distributed throughout the
roof space to eliminate any dead air space.
La Escandella recommends a minimum of ventilation tile (Q86*K)
for every 7 m2 (1.32 vent tiles per 100 sq ft.) and with a minimum
of 2 ventilation tiles per roof surface, installed on the upper part
of the roof.
