Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0939178A1] The method comprises the steps of placing the tiles (11,13) on the roof (12) surface and overlapping the upper tiles on the lower ones; fixing the upper tiles to the lower tiles by a gripping element which has a sheet shape (1,7) and at least a C folded end. The gripping element may be S shaped, with two C folded ends in opposite planes, a lower C gripping the lower edge of upper tiles (13), an upper C gripping the upper edge of lower tiles (13). Instead, the element (1) has only one C folded end to fix the tiles near the roof gutter, the remaining sheet portion being extended to stay under the tile (11) and to be fixed to the roof (12). The gripping elements may be formed by more than one C folded end, to assure a more stable tiles grip. Each element may be covered by an insulating film, such as a plastic film, to improve the resistance to corrosion. <IMAGE>
