Concrete and Clay Roof Tile Installation Manual

The Tile Roofing Institute (TRI) is the premier resource for technical information on the proper design and installation of concrete and clay roof tile systems.

The Tile Roofing Institute in partnership with the Western States Roofing Contractors Association (WSRCA) assembled a task group in 1991 to develop an installation manual that would provide a representation of proper installation practices, industry standards,
and code requirements. These recommendations have provided successful installations of roof tile which have endured the test of time.

The TRI and WSRCA technical committees along with valuable input from the entire roofing community reviewed the previous 2010 edition of this manual.

The culmination of those efforts was the creation of this 2015 Edition of the Installation Manual. As with all previous editions, the TRI submitted the manual for formal review and issuance of a valid Evaluation Report from an approved evaluation report source.

The TRI and WSRCA submitted this manual for formal review and issuance of an IAPMO Uniform ES Evaluation Report, ER-2015, to help provide a stronger foundation to the formal practices and recommendations included in this manual.
