I have a tile roof. It is a lot thicker than shingles. Have these been used on tile roof successfully. Is the plastic pliable enough to open to fit

I used them on my regular tiled roof.they clip on the eave not the shingle.. They only last about a year in winter conditions like alberta, then you have to replace them

A BIG YES!! We did it to ours almost two years AGO!! They are still as beautiful as the day we installed them. I used a cement for ceramic tiles that is "water soluable" Put a 1" duab in each corner and one in the middle. Don't put it to close to the edge, or it will ooze out. I used a 4" paint roller to press out the cement, easier than trying to press them down by hand. Just use a normal pressure. Also we did not caulk the seams. They fit tightly agaist each other, that chaulking is a waste of time. labor and $$$ Wish there had been foam tiles like this when we bought our house in 2000! I would have had them up then!! We can afford real tin tiles but these look 100% as good. A BIG YES!! We did it to ours almost two years AGO!! They are still as beautiful as the day we installed them.

I would not use it on a tiled roof,,, . There's a good chance it would blow some of your roof tiles off,,, and I wouldn't want to take that chance,,, you would be better off using 25 or 40 tips and do it nice and gentle ,,,,,

No, I'd suggest a mechanical fastener. The glaze on the tile will make it difficult for the epoxy to hold.

Yes it will I have the plastic covers but for the valley that go into a one way gutter these are the best. Also they prevent squirrels from sitting in gutter and boring a hole into the edge of roof. I like the combo of the plastic and the brushes for my house because plastic does not let any seeds or pine straw in the gutters and the brushes allow the water to go into the gutters and not overflow like the plastic does.

As usual, the answer is it depends. What type of surface, how much space are you working with, etc. These panels are designed to fit between the seams on metal roofs and you need either 9' or 18' of roof to use them. In my case I installed them on a fiberglass van roof as they were flexible enough to conform to the contours and the adhesive was the perfect way to attach them. The 9' panels were the ideal length for my application.

Used it once so far and it worked well on a non ridge shingled roof. Not sure if it is long enough. I would ask the manufacturer or a parts company.

Would work just fine, although getting the edge of the LeafsOut panel under the shingles might be more challenging, given they are more ridged than a tar shingle roof. You may need a jig/tool to lift then just enough to get panel in.

The zippers boarder all of the clear plastic to make the "doors" and "windows" open and closable. ....you can tie them open with the sewn in ties by rolling them back.the material on the roof is the same canvas the rest of the cover is made of.

Yes your roof will leak if you just screw into the roof, (just using silicone or roof mastic will not last) suggest you talk to a roofer if you are not an experienced solar panel installer.We normally use "Stand Off's" with a flashing, not something you want to tackle unless you know what you are doing.

Shingles can be tricky, because of all the seams; but it's thick and sticks well. I would think it would work from that standpoint....it won't run off.

I use these all the time on metal roofs. they work better if the ridge cap is off because they can dent the ridge cap. you can also buy a roof plank hanger, screw it down and hang a ladder on it.

I would think not. They are designed to be mounted on the roof at the level of the shingles. There is no flashing to the ceiling. They are designed to evacuate attic air.

No. I bought some of the roofing material to try before this and it's not the same. The roofing material would probably work but it was definitely different. The differences I noticed were slight smell difference...size of course...and this was stickier

No! You can use them over & over & over, until they get stuck on the roof. :o)

I was very happy when i used it on my Dodge Caliber which has lots of black plastic on the outer sides of the roof. I would say it should work for you as long as it's plastic, not metal, you clean the surface well.

This hook is dangerous or impossible to use on a metal roof! That said, if you are using it on a shingle roof it would be best to remove the lower section of the extension ladder. This gives you more hook to grip over the top with since the bottom section is making the ladder twice as thick. You also need two hooks, not one. If you are the least bit uneasy hanging on a steep roof, save your money and don't try to use these things.
