How installation works

  1. Schritt 1 — Tonziegel entfernen
    01

    Remove clay tile

    Remove the clay tile at the intended installation position. Slide the overlapping tile upwards to expose the rafter. Take care not to damage the surrounding tiles.

  2. Schritt 2 — Ersatzziegel einsetzen
    02

    Insert replacement tile

    Place the aluminium replacement tile where the clay tile was removed. For extra stability, you can secure it with one or two screws into the batten.

  3. Schritt 3 — Dichtkeil anbringen
    03

    Attach sealing wedge

    Stick the self-adhesive foam sealing wedge to the top edge of the replacement tile. It seals the gap and prevents insects and dirt from entering.

  4. Schritt 4 — Dachhaken montieren
    04

    Fit roof hook

    Cut the seal with an L-cut where the roof hook sits. Screw the roof hook directly onto the rafter using the supplied screws.

  5. Schritt 5 — Dichtung verschließen
    05

    Close the seal

    Fold the seal over the fitted hook to fully seal the penetration and protect it from the weather.

  6. Schritt 6 — Dach schließen
    06

    Close the roof

    Slide the overlapping clay tile back into its original position. The roof is now fully closed. Installation is complete.

Tip
After installation, check that all tiles are firmly in place and the seals are properly seated. This ensures your roof stays watertight in the long term.

Why the aluminium replacement tile is the right choice

Five solid advantages that make a difference on every job.

01
Fast installation
Installed in minutes — saves time on site and noticeably reduces installation costs per module.
02
No tile breakage
The clay tile is replaced, not drilled. No cracks, no breakage risk, no warranty issues with the tile manufacturer.
03
Clean seal
Integrated sealing wedge and flap protect against water, leaves, and insects — permanently, without reworking.
04
PV installation without risk
The roof hook sits directly on the rafter — maximum stability for solar modules, tested load values for structural verification.
05
Made in Germany
Made from high-quality 1.0 mm aluminium, powder-coated. Durable, corrosion-resistant, and precisely matched to leading manufacturer profiles.
