How would one install this on a concrete or clay tile roof? My roof has concrete tiles, and underneath that is a layer of roofing felt over the deck

If by tiles you are meaning those types that aren't flat but curved, like half pipe, then I would think this type of vent is not suitable to begin with. I installed one without problem through a more common type of roof, asphalt shingles over wood decking.

If it was me, I would call a roofing contractor with knowledge on this type of roof. Doesn't sound DIY friendly to me. But those are my limits, not yours.

These are proprietary to this panel, but get another set of Z brackets (regular ones) in case you need extra support at any other point. I used a a 6"x6" block of composite deck planking (fake wood used for decks) under each bracket, slathered with roofing tar as the base screwed to the roof. (From Lowes... and I got the flat one, not the ribbed one) This gave me more room to get perfect panel location since I used four panels for my array. This also allows you and extra inch of airspace under each panel for summer ventilation. Make sure you get good stainless steel screws long enough to penetrate fully and securely.

I had the same roof. Simply make a roof extension with 3/4 PVC pipe and fitings

I think that you should contact the manufacturer and ask. The exposure to sunlight, and rain can damage tiles. If the manufacturer has done studies they can advise you of the tiles tolerances. Good luck.

Used a piece of electrical conduit.....cut it to the size I needed and fastened it to a wall on the roof.A good hardware store can help u on that!

Most likely. There are drainage holes in the turf, but more a soil application. I wouldn't see any harm in putting it on concrete, it just may stay damp underneath and you would want to dry it out or check on it periodically.

probably not a problem. The only reason I'm not sure is because I've only used it on blacktop. but I would give it a try on roof tiles

I think that a better resolution to your problem would be to apply strips of EPDM roofing materiel over the joint that you want to reinforce.So far as applying this over silicone, I don't know if that would work or not.

I have seen it done, but my suggestion is what I did. I bought a role of stainless steel, rolled out and secure to the steel. Then I secure to my roof over the shingles with screws used for putting metal roofing down.

100% agree with the previous post. It was not designed for concrete installation, but that doesn't mean you could not adapt it for such a scenario. We had the same issue and changed our design so that the arbor would be off the edge of the concrete patio and over a new walkway which goes to our garden. The arbor, in our design, simply sits pushed into the lawn, but it is right up against the patio and we walk through the arbor to get to the garden.

You might need thicker underlayment for the second floor.I am using this in the 1st floor, so far OK.

I did a little research and I would have to say, don't do it yourself. Go to or call a tileing store (Tile America) and get some professional answers. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I used it on slippery tile by our pool and it did not work for us! I don't know about composite decking material.

I'm assuming this would be for your roof. I've used and recommended this to many people I know. NEVER EVER heard anything disappointing. You can use this on laminate shingles! You will think it works like magic. I suggest applying it for the first time before a rainfall. Good luck!

Hi there. Use a screw on the inside of the underneath deck, use stainless steel screw and any other hardware you need to fix, just make certain that it is stainless (no Rust)

I would NOT recommend using on a roof at all, regardless of the roofing material. Best used on concrete surfaces; driveways, walkways, pavers, etc.

If you have normal 5 or 6 inch gutters and there is room for the gutter guard to lie on the roof itself about 1/2 inch under your tile it would work fine. The back side (against the house side is roughly 1/8 inch thick and on normal shingles, it easily slides up under the shingle and lays on the roof material itself. The gutter guard is roughly 3/4 inch wider than the gutter it is installed on to allow the back side to rest on the roof giving it some angel to allow better self cleaning.
