Parging Roof Tiles

Over the years this torching can crumble and break normally falling with a thud on the floor of the roof space during the middle of the night.

Parging roof tiles.

In the days before roofing felt torching or lime mortar was used on the underside of tiles or slates to keep them in place and to prevent strong winds from getting under the tiles and lifting them. Mix the parging or stucco mix with water until it is the consistency of thick peanut butter in a mixing container. Cut two pieces of carpet to fit the sections. This is where the difference between parging and stucco is found.

Cut two sections of plywood each measuring 2 foot by 2 foot using an electric saw. Attach the carpet to the bottom of the plywood using a hammer and. Step 3 apply the parging to the wall with the trowel smoothing the surface with the flat blade of the trowel. Most of it comes in a powder form that you mix with water to create a finished adhesive.

Thinset mortar is made for use on tile to bond it to surfaces like cement and concrete.
