Installation

As previously mentioned, these corrugated bitumen roofing sheets are easy to install, as long as you follow the user’s instructions for installing them. For a more detailed guide on how to install these bitumen roof sheets, please refer to the installation manual or the installation video.

Meanwhile, a simple guide can be followed here:  

1. Lay down the black corrugated roofing sheets accordingly
2. Cut to the desired length if necessary
3. Start fixing and securing sheets using Varico’s zinc plated bitumen fixing nails
4. (Optional - for solid decked roofs) Fix the ridge onto the roof, securing them with fixings

Laying Instructions

Preparation of the roof prior to laying:

Any pitch below 10 degrees should be boarded with an appropriate plywood or similar.  

For pitches above 10 degrees the following batten spacings should be used.  

For a loading of 200kg/m² battens should be spaced at 460mm centres. 

For a loading of 350kg/m² battens should be spaced at 310mm centres.  

It is recommended to impregnate all of the timber that makes up the the supporting frame of the roof.  

Lapping of the panels:

Side lap - one corrugation 

Head lap - minimum of 150mm 

Fixing the sheets: 

Sheets should be secured using our zinc plated bitumen fixing nails.  Two rows of nails should be driven in parallel to the direction of the head and at each side of the sheet.  Nails should be driven in to the crown (the uppermost part) of the sheet.  Subsequent rows of nails should be used every third corrugation.  

Sheets should be layer as per the diagram below.  

Ventilation:

To ensure adequate roof ventilation, ensure the sheet ends are at least 50mm from the roof apex.  This will allow air to pass through the eaves, through the bat tern cavity and up to the rooftop.  This constant flow of air will avoid the formation of mould and mildew and help control condensation.
