Roofi ng made with discontinuous clay elements offers the great advantage of technically very simple laying.
However, the observance of a few rules is essential for guaranteeing maximum functionality to the structure, excellent comfort and reduced running costs.

The RIDGE element joins the upper ends of adjacent sloping roof planes, to convey the water onto them and prevent infi ltration under the roofi ng. The fi xing lugs allow correct connection between one element and the next and ensure suitable connection to complementary products: end ridge tiles, three-way crosses, four-way crosses and relevant fi xing hooks. Ridges should preferably be laid on a wooden batten having a section of 5x5 cm2, previously fi xed to the roofi ng structure by means of special metal levelling brackets and avoiding the use of mortar. Fixing with mortar, in fact, affects the indispensable ventilation of the roof underlayer and becomes a natural route for moisture to pass through as well as a cause of freezing/thawing damage. |

The CHIMNEYconsists of a base and a pot, the pot being in a single piece, that make up a terminal system for the passage of ventilation channels, air intakes and vents.It must be placed exactly where necessary, and at the same time as the aforesaid channels, to avoid air flow defects, and in snowy areas it should be protected with some snow guard tiles. |

The VENTILATOR, or ventilation tile, is an essential element for realizing roofi ng with good, correct air circulation. It improves roof underlayer micro-ventilation and allows condensation to be reduced. A special mesh guard, supplied with the element, prevents foreign bodies from entering. Laying is done simply by inserting the ventilator between normal tiles, after it has been fi tted with the mesh guard, arranging it at regular intervals and for two or three rows, according to whether the roof plane is shorter or longer than six metres. Insertion of a ventilator every 8-12 square metres of surface area is recommended, according to the objective laying methods and roof plane exposure. |

THREE-WAY CROSSES are the elements that connect several ridge lines meeting at the same point. They are laid after the ridge elements, overlapping them, and then fi xed with a suitable mechanical device. |

OUR-WAY CROSSES are the elements that connect several ridge lines meeting at the same point. They are laid after the ridge elements, overlapping them, and then fi xed with a suitable mechanical device. |

The END RIDGE TILE is the end element of the ridge line, aesthetically correct and able to prevent intrusion of animals and dirt. Its position is exposed to the wind and therefore it requires a sealing mechanical fi xing. In the head in which the overlap profi les are not overlapped, it is necessary to cut the elements and connect them with sealing adhesive sheathing. |

The SNOW GUARD is characterized by a peg prominence that successfully obstructs the sliding of the snow layer, so avoiding the risk of dangerous and damaging falling of snow onto by passers and onto the storm water drainage system.The element is laid by placing it between the other tiles, in relation to the pitch of the roof planes, climatic area, altitude, exposure, etc.For roof planes up to six metres long and for non-severe conditions below an altitude of 700-800 m, two rows of snow guards along the eaves line, placing a snow guard every five tiles, are sufficient.In more severe cases, three or more rows of elements can be also laid, placed between every three standard tiles. |
Sono disponibili, per la corretta ventilazione delle falde, prodotti in metallo (elencati nel listino prezzi) appositamente studiati per assicurare un passaggio d’aria di almeno 400 cm2 per metro lineare (griglie di gronda, listelli portategole e portacolmo).
