Comply with the current Florida High-Wind Tile Installation Manual for concrete/clay tile roofing wind uplift attachment

Steps

1. Confirm which edition of the FRSA/TRI Florida High-Wind Concrete and Clay Tile Installation Manual is currently effective and adopted by the jurisdiction/code edition in use, since editions are periodically updated and each is tied to a Florida Building Code cycle.
2. Determine whether the project is inside or outside the HVHZ, since HVHZ tile attachment is governed by the Florida Building Code's HVHZ roofing application standards (RAS series) while non-HVHZ Florida projects use the manual's performance-based method.
3. Select the tile attachment method (mechanical fastening, adhesive set, or a combination) and confirm its published uplift-resistance value for the specific tile profile, deck type, and underlayment combination being used — uplift values are assembly-specific, not generic per tile type.
4. Confirm underlayment beneath the tile meets the manual's required testing/exposure standard (including any required accelerated-weathering/UV exposure testing referenced by the current manual edition) before tile installation covers it.
5. Verify the fastener/adhesive manufacturer's product is separately listed/approved (Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA as applicable) for use in the specific tile assembly being installed.
