Roof Shingles

General Information and recommendations

A great looking cabin looks even better with a quality roof. The best and most cost effective covering is glass fibre and polymer reinforced bitumen roof shingles.

Log cabins

Bitumen flexible tiles are designed for pitched roofs (from 12°) used in fully residential, industrial and other buildings, including garden buildings.

Composition of the tiles: durable and highly resistant fibre glass base coated with polymer- reinforced bitumen mix made of high quality bitumen and aggregate.

The top layer of tiles is surfaced with mineral granules that give colour to the tiles and ensure high UV- protection and weather resistance qualities. The granules are cured in high temperature (pigment burned-in into the surface of granules) and guarantees long durability of the colour.

The bottom of tiles is coated with adhesive polymer-reinforced bitumen layer protected with easily removed silicon membrane. As a result of a little exposure to the sun, the overlapped tiles stick to each other thus forming a double waterproofing layer, which guarantees excellent leak resistance of the roof.

ATTENTION:
Log Cabins Kent & Sussex is not responsible for water leakages due to incorrect tile installation or improper preparation of the roof deck. If you are not 100%, seek professional advice, or use our cabin erection service.

NOTES:
We strongly recommend using wide headed (up to 15-25 mm long) nails to fix the bitumen shingles.

If you are going to put tiles at outside temperature lower than +15°C degrees, please preheat black sealing belt zones or use extra mastics to ensure waterproofing.

A small deviation in colour of the tiles is not a defect. It is typical of flexible tiles of any producer. In order to reduce colour difference during installation it is recommended to mix tiles out of 5-6 packs at random. The tiles should be installed in diagonal lines.

In order to avoid shingle sticking to each other in a pack they should be protected from direct sunlight. Each pack should be bent and shaken before opening; this helps to separate the shingles from each other.

It is strongly recommended that you do not walk on the roof in hot/sunny weather because the cover might be damaged. Special ladders should be used for this purpose.

Delivery times:
We do all the best to get your product delivered as soon as possible, but delivery term depends on goods availability in stock. Once your order is placed we will contact you and confirm the exact delivery time.

Delivery address:
Whilst we agree to use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that delivery is made around the delivery time advertised, you will acknowledge that actual delivery is often via third party suppliers and carriers and can therefore be delayed by conditions beyond our control. Incorrect personal details may lead to problems or delays in delivery, so before placing your order, please ensure that you have included the full address details, including accurate postcode of the delivery address and your daytime contact telephone number and e-mail address so we can notify you in the event of a delivery problem.

When the delivery arrives:
Delivery will be deemed as successfully made once the product has arrived at the address specified. Products may be left at the delivery address without the recipient's permission except where third party suppliers require signed confirmation or the recipient has expressly requested products not be delivered in their absence. Products will be deemed your responsibility once you, your agent or the intended recipient has received them. Any loss or damage to the products shall then be at your own risk. Should delivery be refused at the delivery address, and/or re-requested for another date, we may charge for the second delivery, since we met our delivery obligations with the initial delivery attempt. It is the recipient’s responsibility to sign for the correct number of packages as shown on the carrier's delivery consignment note. Shortages must be noted on the consignment note where possible. You should notify us of the shortages within 10 days of delivery. If packing looks damaged on delivery we recommend the contents are inspected before accepting and signing the delivery note. We can provide package dimensions if required upon request. Please sign on the delivery documents when checking all goods.
