For flat concrete tile and S-tile, we like the ProSolar "Tile Track" product. It takes some time to install, however, the resulting penetration (the annular ring gap between the hole on the concrete tile and the SS all-thread is about 1/16" inch (worst case 1/8"). The all-thread does a good job of securing the tile in place.

I am curious what is everyone's preferred method or product of choice is for anchoring / attaching a racking system (UniRac or others) to a Flat Concrete tile or Spanish tile style roof, New Construction versus Retro fit. Does anyone have any experience with Creotec's AluTec tile hooks, or equivalent? I am trying to get an idea of what is out there, what most installers prefer, what the pros and cons may be (does the tile have to be cut or not, are they a pain to work with, etc...) Not looking for a super detailed response, but a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated. I know this seems odd, being employed by a concrete tile manufacture and all, but up to this point it has not come up with standard panels. Best Regards, Brian C. White Eagle Roofing Products.
