FAQs

Tile roof edge protection is a type of edge protection intended for use on tile roof systems. The system aims to provide fall protection for roof tilers, allowing them to work confidently throughout the tiling application. One of the strengths of this system is that it can be easily dismantled after the job is completed. This makes it a versatile and convenient option for providing edge protection on a tile roof.

Consider a roof guardrail system from East-West Roof Guardrail when it comes time to install or maintain your tile roof to reduce the chances of accidents.

Here are some benefits of edge protection for tile roof systems.

Safety — The primary benefit of edge protection systems is the increased safety they provide for roofers and other workers who are on the job. These systems can help prevent falls — a major cause of injury and death in the construction industry.
Increases productivity — As a natural consequence of guaranteed safety, installing edge protection systems can help increase productivity on the job site. By providing a safe and stable working environment, workers can focus on their tasks rather than worrying about falling over the edge.
Customisability — Edge protection systems can be customised to fit the specific needs of a project. This can be particularly helpful when working on roofs with unique shapes or configurations.
Ease of installation — Edge protection systems for tile roofs are easy to install, so they do not add additional stress to workers.

The Hidden Tile System is a type of edge protection designed for use on existing tile roofs during re-roofing, roof restoration, painting or maintenance. It can be installed on the rafters and completely concealed under most common types of roof tile, maintaining the waterproof integrity of the roof. The system allows for access to 100% of the roof surface.

The Thru Tile System, on the other hand, is designed for use on new tile roofs. It is a traditional tile edge protection system that provides a handrail at the gutter line. The bracket is installed by screwing it into the rafter, providing a safe working environment for roof tilers. Once the tiles have been installed, the system can be dismantled, and the last few tiles can be adjusted into place along the gutter line.

Both these systems are available for both dry hire and purchase at EWRG.
