How to Install Metal Roof Tiles in Transition Areas

Video Transcript

"I'm Tom Shean and today on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to install a metal roof. In this instance a minimum two courses of lower roof panels are laid through. If possible with continental tiles, lay it out so that the lower part of the panel is at the center of the valley. The backup stand of the tile is notched and then folded down. Start with a piece of valley less than 4 feet to ease this transition. Set the valley on the tile in a bed of cocking. After fastening the valley cut and mold the end of the valley to fit the panel contour. Seal and apply granules on the exposed edges. On a flat to pitched installation, allmet tiles are installed on the lower pitched tiles first. The back of the last course is cut off to allow the membrane to carry over and down. On the pitch to flat, again is in the hog valley, a filler strip is installed to allow the membrane to run up over and won't pass the first batten without creating ice or water damming. With continental tile, eave form closures are being used to close the opening under the last course and it is being set in a bit of cocking as additional protection."
