The following guidelines are provided to insure proper
installation of Boral TileSeal'50, however local building
codes may differ so please consult with the local building
department for any different or additional installation
requirements.
There are three different sections of these installation guidelines
depending on the climate and whether or not a base sheet is
required.
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS
The deck must be clean, dry, free from loose contaminants, and
structurally sound. Boral TileSeal 50 should be installed when
ambient and substrate temperatures are 40F (4.4C) or highe [)
rrc�t use = e�ral TleSeai 5 on rrac�f pite es ref ess a g.
or ire app ications, do not use Bor-517I e ea e ow a2T'M.72
(21% slope). Water must be allowed to drain freely from all areas
of the roof.
Important for tile installations! Loading boards or battens are required
to facilitate roof loading for concrete and clay roof tile installations
when using Boral TileSeal 50. Boral's Elevated Batten System,
must be used for concrete and clay roof tile installations on roof
slopes below 4:12 (33% slope). If loading boards are used, seal all
penetrations from loading board fasteners once loading boards are
removed.
When using tile fasteners with Boral TileSeal 50, the use of
modified mastic is optional because Boral TileSeal 50 is a self-
sealing underlayment based on testing performed pursuant to
ASTM D 1970.
When installing higher profile tiles with a closed tile valley detail,
it may be necessary to consider the potential exposure of the
Boral TileSeal 50 underlayment in regions where the valley metal
is installed first. While it may take extended time periods for the
surface mat to show any signs of degradation due to partial
exposure to UV rays, it should be noted that in most cases where
a double weave of the valley has been used, there will still be
plenty of protection from the SBS modified base material. In the
interests of good roofing practice, a narrow strip of an approved
granular surface modified type cap sheet may be applied in the
valley center prior to the tile installation.
Sorne codes require an additional base sheet under Boral
TileSeal 50. Check your local building codes.
HURRICANE ZONES — WHERE A BASE SHEET
IS REQUIRED
Apply the base sheet parallel to and abutting the eave. Side laps
should be minimum 6" and head laps minimum 4". Mechanically
fasten the base sheet to the deck with approved nails, staples,
cap nails or tin tags, maximum 6" on center at the laps and two
staggered rows maximum 12" on center in the field. Cover entire
roof with the base sheet. Apply the metal drip edge and other
flashings over the base sheet. Coat entire metal surface of deck
flange with asphalt primer.
Apply Boral TileSeal 50 to the roof, starting at the eave. The
first course of Boral TileSeal 50 should be parallel and flush to
the edge of the eave. Fasten the top of each sheet to the deck
through the black selvage lap maximum 12" on center with
approved fasteners. Apply each succeeding course of Boral
TileSeal 50, lapping the entire width of black selvage area.
Apply SBS mastic under all side or any other laps onto the top
white surface of Boral TileSeal 50. (Pic.1) All side laps must
be minimum 6". Use a roller like the one shown below to insure
complete adhesion to the base sheet. (Pic. 2)
Note: Boral TileSeal 50 is not approved for adhesive set tile
applications.
NON -HURRICANE ZONES — WHERE A BASE SHEET
IS REQUIRED
Apply the base sheet parallel to and abutting the eave. Side laps
should be minimum 6" and head laps minimum 2". Mechanically
fasten the base sheet to the deck with approved nails, staples,
cap nails or tin tags, maximum 6" on center at the laps and two
staggered rows maximum 12" on center in the field. Cover entire
roof with the base sheet. Apply the metal drip edge and other
flashings over the base sheet. Coat entire metal surface of deck
flange with asphalt primer.
Apply Boral TileSeal" 50 to the roof, starting at the eave. The first
course of Boral TileSeal 50 should be parallel and flush to the
edge of the eave.
Fasten the top of each sheet to the deck through the black
selvage lap maximum 12" on center with approved fasteners.
Apply each succeeding course of Boral TileSeal 50, lapping the
entire width of black selvage area.
Apply SBS mastic under all side or any other laps onto the top
white surface of Boral TileSeal 50. (Pic.1) All side laps must
be minimum 6". Use a roller like the one shown above to insure
complete adhesion to the base sheet. (Pic. 2)
Note: Boral TileSeal 50 is not approved for adhesive set tile
applications.
NON -HURRICANE ZONES - WHERE A BASE SHEET
IS NOT REQUIRED
Plywood is the recommended substrate for direct deck
installations. If an additional sheet is not used under Boral
TileSeal 50, place the metal drip edge and other flashings
directly on the deck, use a separator/slip sheet between metal
and deck where required by code, and coat the roof flange as
described above. Install Boral TileSeal 50 in all valleys by either
weaving or by first applying a strip down the length of the valleys
as shown below. When weaving the underlayment in the valleys,
the upper edge of the underlayment must be at least 12" past
the center of the valley.
Apply Boral TileSeal 50 to the roof, starting at the eave. The
first course of Boral TileSeal 50 should be parallel and flush to
the edge of the eave. Use a roller like the one shown in Pic. 2 to
insure complete adhesion to the roof deck.
Fasten the black selvage area at the top of the sheet, as shown
in Pic. 3 at 24" on center for slopes below 7:12 and at 12" on
center for slopes 7:12 and above. Apply each succeeding course
of Boral TileSeal 50, lapping the entire width of black selvage
area.
It is necessary to provide a seal at all end laps using SBS mastic
6" min all end laps or use the following alternative methods:
1. Thefirst is to applyan SBS modified mastic under all side or
other laps and onto the top white surface of Dora] TileSeal
50 to ensure a completely watertight seal,( Pic.1) All laps
must be minimum 6".
2. The second is a Joined and Folded Seam, accomplished
by applying a solid bead of roofing adhesive along the entire
length of the seam, then joining the sheets by facing the ends
of the adjoining sheets together and folding them over at the
seam.
s. The third is an Inverted Sheet Seam, made by adhering the
ends onto an inverted sheet that has been fastened to the
roof deck. See the adjoining pictures.

The ends of each sheet should be positioned and aligned to form
a minimum 2" interface that can be pressed together to form a
solid bond between the two sheets. (Pic. 4)
The seam is then folded flat to either side. (Pic. 5)
Battens may then be installed as usual. (Pic. 6)
l he added thickness of this seam will only slightly elevate the
batten and will not be sufficient to create a noticeable change in
the installed tile. (Pic. 7)
Cut a 12" strip of Boral TileSeal' 50 and invert (flip over) on the
roof deck in a position that half will be under the end of the
adjoining sheets. Tack the strip into place before setting the
sheets. (Pic. 8)
Lap the adjoining sheets onto the inverted strip and press the
sheets together to form a solid bond. Roll the seams with a seam
roller to assure complete adhesion, (Pic. 9)
