Twisted Tyle Tye system

Tyle-Tye® Systems include the Tyle-Tye® Strap System, Twisted Wire Tyle-Tye® System, and the Riness® Tile-Tie System.

With these fastening methods the only puncture of the membrane is at the anchoring points. These anchoring points should be sealed in Tyle-Tye® Chatter Damper or approved roofers mastic.

The alternative to the Tyle-Tye® Systems is to fasten each individual tile through the membrane. Punctures to the roofing membrane would number 80 to 200 holes through each 100 square feet.

Twisted Wire Tyle-Tye® is a continuous element of twisted wire that is attached by means of a special anchor to the roof deck through the required underlayment. The continuous element consists of two wires twisted together with a loop or eyelet approximately every six (6) inches. The loops or eyelets in the twisted wire are used to fasten the individual roof tiles.

A loop in the Twisted Wire Tyle-Tye® is slipped down over the stem of the special anchor, and the two stem elements are then bent apart to engage the wire tie and to prevent it from slipping off. The double plate anchor system can be used also to fasten the Twisted Wire Tyle-Tye® to the roof deck.

Individual roof tiles are tied into the loops of the Twisted Wire Tyle Tye® by means of a Tie Wire of similar metal.

Riness sample specification

A California Architect invented the Twisted Wire Tyle Tye® system in 1929 after a devastating earthquake damaged tile roofs in Southern California. It has been used for over 70 years to fasten any type of roofing tile, to any type of roof deck, and to any slope. Extra tiles or boosters, mortar, staggered exposures and headlaps, and other types of roof tile installation designs can be achieved using this multi-purpose roof tile fastening system.

Fact
 California State Architectural Code Title 24 provides building specifications for all state buildings to protect the safety of the public. Tyle Tye® systems have been part of the California State Building Code Title 24 since 1933.
