Section 13—Tile Roof Installation Using Formable Aluminum Flashing Cont’dReinstall TilesSeal the Clear Plastic Flashing12.Secure the clear plastic flashingto the roof deck by applying agenerous, continuous bead ofsealant on the underside of theflashing.Tip: you might find it difficult contouringthe formable aluminum flashing to fit thedownhill tiles. Try shifting those tiles furtherdownhill to allow more aluminum to workwith. Or add a 2" shim to the roof deck sothe formable aluminum flashing is angled tothe roof rather than parallel to it.19.Secure The FormableAluminum Flashing17.Position and Shape the FormableAluminum Flashing13.Reinstall the trimmed tiles at thesides of the roof cutout, makingsure to install them in the samepattern as they were removed,from bottom to top. These tilesneed to be installed on top of theformable aluminum flashing.Make any required adjustments intrimming the tiles or shingles for aproper fit around the side of theformable flashing collar. A “properfit” is one that is within 1"-2" of thealuminum vertical wall.Once the formable aluminumflashing is shaped to match thedownhill tiles, clean and dry thesurfaces of aluminum, underlayment,and tile. Apply roofing sealant to alladjoining surfaces.Attach these tiles with nails,caulk the heads of the nails withexterior silicone.Position the formable aluminumflashing in place by centering itsopening with the hole cut into theroof deck.Top AdjustableTubeFormableAluminumFlashing18.Clear PlasticFlashing14.Centering is best achieved byinserting the reflective tube intothe opening of the aluminumflashing letting the fit of the tubeto-roof hole serve as a guide.15.The uphill half of the formablealuminum flashing should be layingon top of the underlayment, whilethe downhill half of the flashingshould be laying on top of thedownhill tiles.16.Secure the formable aluminumflashing with the metal flashingscrews and washers. The 9 screwsprovided should be installed in acircular, equally spaced patternaround the aluminum collar toimprove water sealing. Dab roofsealant on each screw to create awater-tight seal. The 10" unit hasa 21" diameter screw pattern; the14" unit has a 24" diameter screwpattern.Screws in Circular Pattern20.Reinstall the final tiles alongthe uphill edge of the formableflashing. This requires the rowof tiles to be lifted slightly andmay be necessary to loosen theirattachments. Secure the tiles withnails, caulk the heads of the nailswith sealant.21.Quick setting mortar may be usedto fill in the gaps between the tileand aluminum collar to provideproper run-off of water. Check allareas for proper sealing and waterrun-off.Manually shape the downhill edgeof the formable aluminum flashingto match the surface of the tiles.Tip: Paint the formable aluminum flashingto match the color of the tiles or shingles, ifdesired.Screws Anchored into Optional Shim22.Install remaining components ofthe tubular skylight as instructedin standard installation starting onpage 4 “On the Roof”.Tip: The optional wooden shim can be usedas a screw anchor as well.10Section 13—Tile Roof Installation Using Formable Aluminum Flashing
