Ceramic tile Roben: expressive conciseness

Has long roof is something more important than just the logical culmination of the house. It has long been a symbol of homeland and home, protection and reliability. That makes the roof of any building in a real house, and the concept of "shelter" is firmly imprinted in human consciousness.

Tiling breathes through capillary pores, which provides housing favorable microclimate at any time of year. But in order for it to benefit fully manifested, it is important that all components of a roof from the valley to the ridge of the element, including all the necessary elements (ridge, vents, steps, holders of antennas, etc.) were ceramic.

An example of such a roof can be fully ceramic roof and suggested in our market by "ROBEN". The range includes 42 types of tiles (7 forms in 6 colors each).

Tuscany

Contrary to the historical predecessor of the tiles - configurations of "monk-nun" tile "Tuscany" is a combined version of the double joint. Double-slot connection to the length and width of each tile, which has no such connection - much more reliable roofing that prevents leaking and the wind drift of moisture. Sufficiently high bending of the tiles and the resulting play of light and shade provide top special aesthetic appeal.

Holfalts

Undulating section of each tile (reminiscent of lying letter "S") gives the roof a quiet, calming effect. This type of tile is also a dual slot connection length and width.

Flahdah

The conventional designation of the tile (the literal translation of "flat") should not be taken literally. This form is particularly suitable for relatively flat roof (from 18), provides an optimum flow of rain water and prevent leaking slot.

Fershibetsigel

This type of tile is meant primarily to cover the roofs already have an old crate. Typically, problems arise when the length of the tile does not match the distance between the bars of existing sheathing.

Certain types of tile "Fershibetsigel" allow a shift in length, which ensures trouble-free styling. Firm "ROBEN" in its range has three such species "sliding" tiles.

Holfalts (sliding)

By resembles the above, "Hol-fold." The size of the displacement: 55 mm.

Rhineland (sliding)

Name suggests, in what region of Germany, this tile is particularly widespread. The size of the displacement of 80 mm.

Doppelfalts (sliding)

In some regions of Germany it is called a "tile with a double bend." This type of tile first was introduced in the mechanized production, but to this day it can be seen on houses built in the last century. The new "sliding" version is particularly suitable for restoration work.

The company produces seven sections of tile that are listed in the survey. In addition, each profile shingles produced six to eight colors. Each of the profiles issued equipped with all necessary fittings: skating, edges, valley flashing, gutters - in short, everything you need, including holders of antennas.

Therefore, buying a tile at large firms-dealers, the buyer can be confident that he can buy the whole set of necessary parts. Typically, they come to the firm is to bring a draft of roof: our experts on it quickly calculate how many and what types of products must be purchased, and if the order is quite large to send order to the factory. Time of execution from 10 to 14 days. If the project is the roof for some reason the customer is absent, in large firms can hire a specialist to conduct the necessary measurements on site.

The main characteristic of shingles, which characterizes its longevity - frost. Frost resistance of tiles (number of cycles of alternate freezing and thawing), according to European industrial standards should be at least 50 cycles (one cycle consists of soaking, and then rapid freezing to -30 C and then rapid thawing in water to a temperature of 20-25 "C ). Ceramic tiles firms "ROBEN", for example, can withstand 150 cycles.

According to statistics, meteorologist for the winter season is on average - 24 thawing, and, of course, the process of thawing under natural conditions is less sharp than in the tests. Figures testing frost resistance suggests that these products will live for many decades. For tiles that period is at least 30 years.

Installation of a roof of ceramic tiles is time-consuming, but technically not very complicated, and at a certain skill with it can be managed independently, and all necessary instructions, please contact the seller. In the operation and repair of ceramic roof is easier and cheaper than other types of roofing.

Unfortunately, in the Ukrainian construction rarely use a ceramic tile. But it may be worth thoughtful on this issue. No wonder the experience of such tiles in Europe amounts to many hundreds of years: the Europeans - the people sparingly, and choose what is more durable and easier to operate and repair.
