The Lincoln City Police Department is a new 3 story building in a high wind zone 1/4 mile from the Oregon Oceanfront. Boral Concrete Saxony Slate Tiles are installed as both wall cladding and roofing on a 3:12 slope roof with 140-foot-long valleys. The specifications called for “Complete Bidder Designed Concrete Roof and Wall Systems”. This presentation will walk through the installation techniques, changes to the architectural details, layout for the siding installation with matching mitered corners, flashing at windows, doors, and signage, integration of the wall tiles to the roof tiles and designing a (hopefully) bullet proof installation on a low sloped roof. Attendees will learn how to attach concrete tile as wall cladding, how flashings are used on sidewalls and design considerations on a low slope high wind tile roof.
