TECHNICAL INFORMATION

General Description: Quarrix Tile Batten is designed to be used as a method of hanging and securing various

tile, metal and cedar roong materials. The corrugated design of the plastic promotes air and water ow

between the roof deck and roof covering. Net Free Area (NFA) = 5.6 sq in/lin ft

Material: Tile Batten is composed of multiple layers of a special hollow core high density polyethylene board.

Temperature/UV Resistance: High density polyethylene (HDPE) corrugated plastic resin has a brittleness

temperature to -103º F (ASTM D746) and a deection temperature of +162º F at 66 PSI (ASTM D648). It has

been tested and found to have a burn rate of 2.5 inches/minute (ASTM D635-91), a self-ignition temperature

of 734º F (ASTM D1929-91a) and labeled "excellent" for a smoke density of 9.3% average (ASTM D2843-93).

Black HDPE is a UV-resistant material.

Dimensions: Height 3/4” (19mm); Length 8’ (2.44m); Width 1-1/2" (38mm)

Material Safety Data Sheets: Corrugated plastic products t the denition for "articles" which are

STEP 1

Unfold Quarrix Tile Batten to full 8-foot length and align along

pre-chalked line. Nail or staple 2” in from the starting edge.

Move over to the hinge of the Tile Batten and nail or staple

2” from hinge of the fold. (See Fig. 1; Fastener = nail or staple)

Note: Power nail or staple tools can be used to place fasteners.

STEP 2

Place a nail or staple 10” in from each of the fasteners that have

already been placed. Place an additional nail or staple in the middle

of the section for a total of 5 fasteners per 4-foot section of batten.

Repeat on other side of 4-foot section of the batten. Use this

nail or staple pattern when fastening the remaining battens

to the roof deck. Fasteners should penetrate the roof deck a

minimum of 1/2”. See manufacturer’s specications.

Note: Use a utility knife when cutting the Tile Batten to desired length.

STEP 3

If fasteners are used to secure the tile to the roof, the penetration

of the fastener must be into the roof deck for structural hold*

according to the manufacturer’s specication. (See Fig. 2)

*Quarrix Tile Batten cannot be used for structural support of the tile.
