HYTILE Tilecutter
Cut straight, even valleys cleanly with no dust or danger!
TILECUTTER TIPS
If the cutting action has become a little sloppy, new over-size bolts in the linkages will really make a difference. Bring in your Tilecutters and we can fit them for you, or alternatively, call us and we’ll send some out.
Keep the plunger barrel greased, and oil the links regularly to ensure a continued smooth cutting action.
Bedding Frames
7 MODELS TO CHOOSE FROM
Use a HYTILE Bedding Frame to ensure hip and ridge tiles are laid in straight, even lines. There are 7 models to choose from:
STANDARD: 3.6 MTR (12FT)
This model is made from tempered aluminium and is light and easy to handle. The thick layer of sponge rubber on its underside gives added grip on steeper roofs.
SHORT STANDARD: 1.8 mtr (6ft)
As above, but shorter. Ideal for short, steep hips. Quick and easy to use and handle.
EXTENDABLE: 4 – 6.1 mtr (13-20ft)
This model extends from 4 metres to 6.1 metres. Great for long hips.
SHORT EXTENDABLE: 1.8 – 3.4mtr (6-11ft)
As above, but shorter. It extends from 1.8 to 3.4 metres and is quick and easy use and handle. Ideal for small jobs.
ECONOMY: 3.2mtr (10ft8in)
This sturdy model now comes with noggins on one end to allow for extending its reach on longer jobs by fitting another Bedding Frame up to it.
SHORT ECONOMY: 1.8mtr (6ft)
Same as above but shorter.
LONG ECONOMY: 4.5mtr (15ft)
As above but longer.
Hytile Batten Trolley
Block sizes are smaller than they used to be, so the options for loading a roof from all sides can be limited. Batten Trolleys offer an advantage in both speed and energy-saving by making it really easy to transport your tiles from one end of the roof to the other. They are particularly useful on long gable roofs.
APPRENTICE AWARDS
OAC and Hytile were proud sponsors of the Holmesglen TAFE apprentice awards evening this month. ‘Outstanding Apprentice’ awards went to Josh Stahl of Leslie Roofing, and Ella Spark from David Spark Roofing.
A terrific effort guys, your hard work will stand you in good stead for the future. Keep up the great work!
Thank you to Holmesglen’s Denise Walker and Michael Durling for your hospitality on the night, and M.C. Lehmo, who kept things rolling along nicely in his entertaining way
A little progress each day adds up to BIG results
