Rainy Days No Longer a Hassle! Three Key Waterproofing Tips for Installing Resin Tiles

Statistics show that inadequate waterproofing is one of the most common causes of damage to homes. Neglecting waterproofing during construction and renovation can have serious consequences, and resin tiles are no exception. Today, we’ll explore the key details to ensure effective waterproofing when installing resin tiles.

#### Skylight Treatment

1. **Before installing the resin tiles**, secure metal sheets on both sides of the skylight at the higher slope of the roof.
2. **After installing the tiles on the slopes** above and below the skylight, cover the top with a metal drainage sheet to form a complete waterproof structure around the skylight.
3. This ensures the skylight area is watertight, preventing rainwater infiltration.

#### Chimney Treatment

1. Pay special attention to the area where the roof intersects with the chimney, as this is a potential waterproofing challenge.
2. For the front flashing, place the resin tiles on the higher slope of the structure, then customize a metal sheet to fit the flashing profile based on on-site measurements.
3. Ensure all four sides of the chimney receive effective waterproof treatment to prevent moisture from penetrating the building structure.

#### Dormer Window Drainage

1. When addressing drainage around dormer windows, ensure that drainage channels are installed on both sides above the dormer.
2. Use the same methods as for gables, water tanks, and chimney flashing to treat these areas, ensuring the layout and construction of the drainage channels are effective in preventing water retention and leakage issues.

These three detailed steps will help ensure the high performance of resin tiles in waterproofing, preventing moisture and leakage issues, and maintaining the integrity of the building structure. Additionally, it is crucial to carefully plan and execute these steps during construction.
