How damaging to the roof is walking on it? I noticed in the warranty you said you do not guarantee “damage to the tile caused by roof traffic or foreign objects falling on the roof”.
There is a prescribed method for walking on tiles that is contained in one of the technical bulletins that is posted to our website. If this is not convenient, you may contact me and I can arrange to get a copy to you. Most tile roofs will support some foot traffic, as long as it is done properly, although special precaution should be exercised when traversing lightweight tiles. For standard weight tiles, it is generally enough to step on the lower edge of the tile where it is supported by the tile beneath it. Try to distribute your weight evenly and avoid impact as much as possible. My question deals with the use of polyiso insulations on top of dimensional wood decks using conventional tiles (not the liteweight varieties) on a 1212 slope. Polyiso insulation is commonly installed beneath tile roofs but are not recommended as the substrate for tile attachment.
