Can the tiles be laid directly on rooftops of rubber or bituminous membrane without damaging or puncturing the membrane?
A. The pressure on the tile base is normally distributed in such a way that no damage will occur. However if you wish to take additional precautions, then we suggest laying down a suitable geotextile (i.e. weed or erosion control) mat before the tiles are laid. If your builder or building requires something more substantial, we would suggest laying down an EPDM sheet which costs from about 50c per sq.ft. and comes in continuous sheeting as large as 50′ x 100′. EPDM sheeting can be obtained from suppliers such as http://frs.flatroofsolutions.com.
