FEATURES
LCP LYCORTILE® is an innovative steel roof with the
aesthetic appearance of traditional clay tiles. The
LCPoLYCORTILE® roof comes in customized module
lengths to fit your project requirement.
AESTHETICALLY PLEASING & COST EFFECTIVE
Tile-look roof with deep and gentle wavy profile,
giving excellent water carrying capacity and
unrivalled aesthetic appeal.
Lightweight but strong and high strength steel
material ensuring long life expectancy.
Continuous sheet is possible from ridge to gutter for
seamless construction, thus eliminating any seepage
between horizontal laps.
Easy to install with minimum support, low
maintenance, highly durable and weatherproof.
Special anti-capillary channel on the LCP LYCORTILE®
roof ensures waterproofing integrity.
Very wide and exciting colour finishes available
using Clean COLORBOND® steel, offering long lasting
beauty and excellent gloss.
LCP LYCORTILE® is suitable for new roofs construction,
re-roofing over existing metal or concrete roof as
well as for canopies and awnings.
GOOD THERMAL & ACOUSTIC PROPERTIES
The Clean COLORBOND® steel surface and use of
suitable insulation materials provide energy efficient
roofing systems.
When a steel roof is designed with an effective
acoustic system, it provides good sound insulation
for the building.

MATERIALS
The strength and formability of steel makes it ideal
for roof panels. LCP LYCORTILE® is a cold roll formed
roofing manufactured from high strength steel of G300
base material (300MPa minimum yield stress), with
ZINCALUME® STEEL (Zinc & Aluminium alloy) coating,
in accordance with AS1397 and Clean COLORBOND®
paint finish in accordance with AS2728. Other materials
are available in various finishes. Please contact LCP
Building Products Pte. Ltd. for information.
ADVERSE CONDITIONS
If LCP Building Products Pte. Ltd. range of roofing, walling
or rainwater products are within 1km of salt marine or
industrial area and unusually corrosive environments,
please contact our Technical Department for advice.
COMPATIBILITY
Lead flashings should not be used in conjunction with
ZINCALUME® steel or Clean COLORBOND® pre-painted
steel sheeting. Drainage from ZINCALUME® or Clean
COLORBOND® pre-painted steel roofing (inert materials)
should not be allowed to discharge onto galvanised
rainwater components. Drainage from copper roofing
should not be allowed to discharge onto ZINCALUME®
steel, galvanised, Clean COLORBOND® pre-painted
steel or aluminium rainwater components. Each of
these combinations may lead to premature corrosion.
FOOT TRAFFIC
When walking on LCP LYCORTILE® always wear clean,
non-marking and flat rubber soled shoes. Avoid
unnecessary foot traffic and walk on the flat of the
panel at or near the supporting roof structural members
as much as possible.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
NEW CONSTRUCTION
LCP LYCORTILE® can be installed directly on steel or timber
rafters. For LCP LYCORTILE® with 300mm steps distance per
module, the batten spacing must be 300mm except at
the bottom where the spacing is reduced to 280mm. For
other module step distances, the batten spacing must
be adjusted according to the lengths. For controlled foot
traffic conditions, only internal span may be increased
to a maximum of 600mm. Refer to LCP Building Products
Pte. Ltd., Technical Department, for appropriate steel or
timber batten size.

RENOVATION/NEW CONSTRUCTION ON
TIMBER BOARDING OR PLYWOOD PANELS
LCP LYCORTILE® can be laid on timber boarding or
plywood or panels, which are at least 17mm thick.
Typical timber roofing tiling battens* are 25mm × 50mm
in size. These tiling battens* must be laid on counter
battens* of size 25mm×25mm running down the slope
at 600mm centres. For LCP LYCORTILE® with 300mm step
distance per module, the tiling batten* spacing must be
300mm except at the bottom where spacing is reduced
to 280mm.

RENOVATING A ROOF OF CORRUGATED SHEET

LCP LYCORTILE® can be laid on the existing roof sheeting
if these sheets are in good condition and capable of
taking the weight of the metal tile roof. It is advisable
to check that the corrugated sheets are sufficiently
watertight to act as an underlay and that the purlins
under the sheets are sound enough to support and take
fixings of counter battens*. The counter battens* are laid
narrow edge down from ridge to eaves and at maximum
1.20m centers. These battens* are fixed down using
screws. If the existing roof sheets are old and brittle, it may
be necessary to bevel the lower edges of the counter
battens*.

Tiling battens* must be laid on top of the counter battens*

in the same way as for the new construction.

RENOVATING ROOFS OF CONCRETE OR CLAY TILES

Remove the old tiles. Replace counter battens* and tiling batten* if these are in poor condition. If it is desirable that
the existing battens* are to be re-used, it may be necessary to remove and re-position some of these battens* to
comply with the spacing as described in the earlier “Renovation/New Construction on Timber Boarding, Plywood
or Panel” section.

*: For steel battens, Please contact LCP Building Products Pte. Ltd., Technical Department.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
ROOF SHEET LAYING GABLE FIXING
Ridge Fold up the sheet at the left-hand gable if necessary.
Fix with self-drilling screw at approximately 300mm
centre.

Eaves

Fix the sheets in rows from the eaves to the ridge.

Always place the first sheet at the bottom right-hand
corner. It is vital to fix them perpendicular to the eaves.
As the sheets are profiled both in width and height, it is
difficult to compensate for an angular error. RIDGE FIXING
Proceed as follows:

N.B. The bottom corners of the unit

must be on the line of the eaves.
Before fixing the ridge piece, fit the above filler and
gable trim.
FIXING
The sheets must be fixed
at the crest using self-
drilling screws and sealing
washers. For steel batten:
12mm × 68mm hex head,
and for timber: 12mm ×
65mm hex head.

FIXING PLAN
Side Overlaps

Insert the screws in the fixing plan. The screws marked

with a larger filled circle (in the side overlap) are fixed
first. Insert screws at the crest of every third and fifth
corrugations and crest of every second tile row. At the
side overlap insert a screw at the crest of every tile
row. At the end overlap, insert screws at the crest of
every corrugation (not shown in fixing plan).

DELIVERY
Delivery can normally be made within 7 working days, subject
to the delivery location and material availability, or can be
at a pre-arranged date and time. Please assist us to provide
undamaged product by ensuring that suitable arrangements
have been made for truck unloading. When lifting sheeting by
crane, care should be taken to ensure that the load is spread
to prevent sheeting damage. Where a crane is not available,
sufficient labour must be supplied to assist in manual unloading.
HANDLING
LCP LYCORTILE® should be handled with care at all times to
preserve the quality of the finish. Packing should always be kept
dry and stored above ground level whilst on site. If however
the sheets have become wet then they should be separated,
wiped and placed in the open to aid in drying.
FASTENERS
All fasteners should conform to AS 3566 and be compatible
with the roofing material used.
Crest Fixing:
For steel batten, use No. 12 × 68mm hex head self-drilling, self-
tapping screws with neoprene washers. For timber batten,
(F11 grade timber or better), use No. 12 × 65mm hex head self-
drilling type 17 screws with neoprene washers.
Do not over-tighten screws, ensure they are kept upright and
that neoprene washers remain in position during installation.
Ranges of “Cyclone” caps are available for even better
wind load performance. Increase screw length by 10mm for
installation on soft wood applications. Lead head nails must
not be used.
CUTTING
Sheeting can be cut, where necessary, by means of metal
snips or electric nibbler. The use of cutting discs should be
avoided but if it is used, the Clean COLORBOND® pre-painted
steel sheeting should be placed downwards, or carefully
shielded, to minimize the risk of hot filings embedding in the
painted surface.
CLEAN UP
Ensure that all debris, nails, rivets, screws, rags, and especially
filings & particles from cutting or drilling, are carefully cleared
from the surface after each day’s work or premature corrosion
could occur.
