Technical Specifications

Positioning of the edge stop beam
Fixing of the gutter
Torch down a vapour barrier to the roof top made of bitumen membrane of at least 3 mm thick
Again using a hot torch, immediately lay down STIFERITE’s Class B panels on the top surface of the previous membrane
(alternative: STIFERITE’s Class S – STIFERITE's GT3 – GT4 – GT5)
Torch down of bitumen membrane with slate chips finish of 4,5 kg/m2 to the top surface of Class B panel
Followed by the installation of the first rows, or as many as necessary (depending on the amount of pitch and wind conditions), of tiles using polyurethane foam

Instructions and Guidelines
An adequate thermal insulation and waterproofing package not only assures thermal ambient comfort, but also long term durability of the terracotta soffit inside the roof.

The waterproofing membrane protects the roof prior to the installation of the tiles and in case of accidental brakes, it assures the necessary waterproofing.

The use of the vapour barrier is indispensable for the correct functionality of the system
