Turret Kits
DaVinci can create a custom engineered package for any turret. You provide us with four dimensions for the turret and DaVinci Roofscapes will create a custom engineered Turret Package just for you. All we need is the distance from the peak of the turret to the edge of the drip cap, the turret pitch, turret cap length and coursing exposure. Using those dimensions DaVinci will figure out the rest and deliver it to you ready to install. Your turret package will include starter tiles, and numbered field bundles that are custom engineered for each course.
Creating Exposure
Installing the tiles straight or staggered is a personal choice. Although budget and architectural style will enter into the equation, personal preference is typically the final determining factor. DaVinci Multi-Width and Single-Width tiles, you have the greatest ability to vary tile placement.
