DURABLE COATED STEEL
The raw material for Phoenix tile form is organic coated steel, features the best properties of two excellent materials, the strength and toughness off steel and the appearance and anti-corrosive properties of the coating which may is PVC (Plastisol). The sheets’ steel core is surfaced with many protective layers. It is hot dip galvanised on both sides. The colour surface is incorporated as part of the manufacturing process, so no surface treatment is necessary at the installation stage. As a roofing material, coated steel has outstanding characteristics. This sheeting offers strong durability within various weather conditions.
EASY TO INSTALL IN ALL KINDS OF ROOFING APPLICATION
- Batten assembly and Underlay. A lightweight batten assembly is adequate for Phoenix tile sheets.
- Cutting. Sheets are supplied cut to length, but for pipes, aerials, etc it is sometimes necessary to cut the sheets on site. This is best carried out using a nibbler. Alternatively a fine toothed sew specially designed for cutting steel sheeting may be used. Length ways slits may be cut using plate shears. NEVER cut the tile sheets with abrasive disc type tools.
- Fastening. The Sheets are always laid at right angles to the eaves. The gable should not be used as a reference point. Every sheet should be fastened at once all over in the same way. The fastening starts from below at right and goes upwards to the left.
- Finishing. The roof is finished using matching accessories for a stylish and functional end result.

The screws hold equally well in dry or wet timber, and the roof will stay securely fastened for year after year. Screws are available in the same colours as the Phoenix tile sheets.
