First Claim
1. A method for covering a roof with tile-like roof covering elements each having upper, lower, left and right edges and upper left, lower left, upper right and lower right corners adjoining the edges, and upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right assembling holes at each corner, wherein each roof covering element has a lower transverse step with sunken embossing interlocking with a bend of an upper transverse step of an adjacent roof covering element, comprising:
- fastening a first roof covering element to a roof batten with at least one screw;
covering the left edge of the first roof covering element with the right edge of a second roof covering element, and mounting the first and second roof covering elements together with a screw placed through the lower right assembling hole of the second roof covering element and the aligned lower left assembling hole of the first roof covering element;
fastening the second roof covering element to a roof batten with at least one screw;
covering the upper edge of the first roof covering element with the lower edge of a third roof covering element, and mounting the first and third roof covering elements together with a screw placed through the lower right assembling hole of the third roof covering element and the aligned upper right assembling hole of the first roof covering element, wherein at the same time, the lower left assembling hole of the third roof covering element aligns with the upper right assembling hole of the second roof covering element;
covering the left edge of the third roof covering element with the right edge of a fourth roof covering element, and mounting the third and fourth roof covering elements together with a screw placed through the upper left assembling hole of the third roof covering element and the aligned upper right assembling hole of the fourth roof covering element;
mounting the fourth and the second roof covering elements with a screw applied through a middle lower assembling hole of the fourth roof covering element and through a middle upper assembling hole of the second roof covering element; and
wherein a junction comprised of the adjoining corners of the four roof covering elements is connected with a screw applied through the aligned lower right assembling hole of the fourth roof covering element, the lower left assembling hole of the third roof covering element, the upper right assembling hole of the second roof covering element and the upper left assembling hole of the first roof covering element.
