Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Layout tape is one of the quickest ways to keep tile exposure consistent on larger tile roofs, especially when multiple installers are working the same plane. Choose the 14 in. size when your tile's manufacturer allows a 14 in. maximum exposure, and verify the tile spec sheet before committing. Snap a control line at the eave first so the tape runs square to the eave for uniform coursing.
Work from stable footing or roof brackets when laying out and installing tile roofs, and follow fall-protection practices.
