Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Order top pieces from the same production run as the field tile whenever possible so the blend reads consistently across hips and ridges. Verify fastening or mortar bedding requirements for trim pieces against local wind and seismic code. Keep spare top pieces on site after the job for future repairs, since clay blends change over time.
Install trim tile using roof jacks, fall protection and proper bracing; clay pieces are heavy and fragile under foot traffic.
