Description

Composition
Prestige tiles are made from a glass fibre mat, with a weight up to 125gm/m2. This gives high mechanical strength, in excess of any international standards. The fibre is pre-impregnated with bitumen to eliminate moisture or cavities within the mat. Further bitumen, which is carefully selected to ensure product stability and resistance to temperature fluctuations is then added, and the copper foil is laminated on top. A special thermo setting adhesive is then applied, which sticks the leading edges of the tiles down, and the material is then cut to the shape r equired.

Accessories
Roof ventilators, eaves and verge trims, and Bitustick adhesive, are available.

Shape
Prestige tiles are supplied as a tile strip of 3-5 tiles, depending on the style, which is normally nailed directly to a timber deck.

Dimensions
The strip size is 1000 x 340mm. Full details of this, the exposure or distance between the courses, and pack sizes are shown in the data table.

Weight
The installed weight, including overlaps, varies from 8.5 to 17kgs/m2 depending on style, as shown in the data table. This makes them suitable for lighter, more economic, structures.

Appearance
Prestige tiles will quickly lose their bright appearance when exposed to the atmosphere.The copper will weather through its bronze tone to the eventual green patina, which in marine atmospheres can take 5 years, but in more rural locations can take over 20 years. A pre-patinated version of Elite and Compact is available.
