PERFORMANCE DATA

Rooftop Tiles
Frost No adverse effect
"K" Value 0.967 w/m °C
Co-efficient of thermal movement 9.74 x 10-6 °C
Water absorption 11.8% by weight
Density 1930 kg/m3
Light reflection Grey - 17.7% Ivory - 36.3%
Slip resistance Dry - 94 Wet - 81

+Note that scale is: 20 = bad, 40 = adequate, 60+ = very good. Slip resistance of tiles is carried out under both wet and dry conditions using a pendulum skid tester and the mean value of four readings per tile is recorded.

Freeze/Thaw testing: Tiles are tested by external laboratories for freeze/thaw resistance. Tiles at -20°C are thawed in water at +20°C (1 cycle) for 25 cycles.

The tiles are weighed and visually examined for signs of deterioration after completing 25 cycles of freezing and thawing. No weight loss has occurred and no signs of deterioration has been detected.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Cleaning: The tiles can be cleaned using water and a stiff broom, a pressure washer, a weak bleach solution or soda crystal solution. Care should be taken not use any material that is too abrasive or chemical concentrations that are likely to damage the waterproofing membrane, the insulation beneath the tiles, or etch the surface of the tiles.

Precautions: Inhalation of dust when cutting tiles should be avoided. Wear dust masks where airborne particles are present. Goggles should be worn when there is a risk of dust entering the eyes. Gloves should also be worn when cutting and handling tiles. Carriage of the tiles is not subject to hazardous conveyance regulations and vehicle labelling is not required.

Handling and delivery: The tiles are fragile and must be handled with care. Tiles should be stacked on edge to avoid breakages. Delivery is on non-returnable pallets for off-loading by the customer. Alternatively, crane off-load vehicles are available on request.

Service and supply: Fully trained technical staff are available to advise on all aspects of tile selection, specification and laying, and to provide on-site or telephone advice. Spartan Tiles are available either on a supply-only or supply-and-lay basis using our own fully trained personnel – or through recognised merchants and contractors.
