Preface Metal materials
The house is the focus of human experience. And yet, roofs came before walls
since roofs and roof coverings are as old as the hills. When human beings lived in
primitive caves they protected them with bark, leaves or straw. Long before the
coming of the Europeans, before the advent of western culture, human beings from
other societies built houses and equipped them with a roof. This protected from
the whims of nature and hostile forces. The craftsmanship involved in covering
roofs has always been important. Metals are a historic building material that was
already being used for technically and stylistically sophisticated buildings and for
artisanship in the Bronze Age. The metal roof is rated highly in modern architecture,
not least because of this.
Introduction
Quality control
Zambelli Fertigungs GmbH & Co. KG has been making the RIB-ROOF metal roof
system for over 30 years. The profile sheets are produced in one of the most modern
factories in Germany. RIB-ROOF Speed 500 and RIB-ROOF 465 in steel and aluminium
finishes have a building inspection licence from DIBt the German Institute for
Constructional Engineering in Berlin. Building inspection licences
RIB-ROOF Speed 500: No. Z-14.1-473 (steel), and No. Z-14.1-474 (aluminium);
RIB-ROOF 465: No. Z-14.1-345 (steel), and No. Z-14.1-346 (aluminium).
External monitoring is conducting by the testing laboratory at the University of
Hannover. In order to ensure consistent quality of materials and production Zambelli
Fertigungs GmbH & Co. KG conducts inspections in addition to its own and external
monitoring.
RIB-ROOF metal roof systems are known for their optimal snug fit and first-class
workmanship. The advantages of a top quality product, its superior technical structure
and finest expertise in finishing technique form the basis for an optimal result.

1.2 Products Materials
RIB-ROOF Benefit from a system
RIB-ROOF metal roof systems from Zambelli are an advancement in the traditional
hand-made standing seam system made as a result of technological progress in
the roll-forming technique. So-called sliding clips were developed from the
conventional adhesives. RIB-ROOF is fitted without any perforations on the sliding
clips designed exclusively for the system. The clips facilitate temperature induced
longitudinal expansion of the profile sheets.
The two product lines RIB-ROOF Speed 500 and RIB-ROOF 465 in the standard overall
width 500mm and 465mm (for exact specifications see Chapter 2 RIB-ROOF Speed
500 and Chapter 3 RIB-ROOF 465), a wide selection of materials, colours and
surfaces as well as a full range of accessories, RIB-ROOF has the right solution for
every need. It is self-supporting and accessible and can consequently be laid on
purlin or on a full area support the scope of application ranges from single shelled,
rear ventilated roofs with air insulation to thermally insulated roof structures without
air insulation.
We will provide you with suitable proposals for solutions for roof refurbishments
with business being conducted as usual in the building by using a roof span with
RIB-ROOF on the existing roof surface. We have prepared individual design proposals
for refurbishment of existing asbestos cement corrugated slabs or fibre cement
slabs in particular. Please speak to us about it.
RIB-ROOF can be laid from a pitch of only 1.5. The lock seam profiles are produced
as required in the desired sheet lengths. All sizes of roof area can consequently
be laid from the ridge to the eaves, normally without a transverse joint.
Wide Variety of shapes
RIB-ROOF profile sheets are available in conical, straight, curved or conical
curved shapes. Sheets in extra long lengths from 33m upwards are
profiled and cambered on mobile roll-forming equipment directly on
the building site if required. In addition to the standard overall width,
project-oriented dimensions are also produced on request.
GENERAL REMARKS
PRODUCTS MATERIALS
Get moving now with RIB-ROOF!
RIB-ROOF saves valuable installation time. The profile sheets are simply clicked into
the system-specific retaining clips. Pre-assembly and alignment of the clips is just
as unnecessary with RIB-ROOF as is seaming or flanging with special flanging
machines. Since flanging is not necessary with RIB-ROOF, it can be installed at low
outdoor temperatures. The profile sheets are available ex works with chamfered
or bevelled edges on the side of the ridge or eaves.
The full range of prefabricated elements facilitate flexible, efficient planning and
fast, precise installation. All parts such as harness security system, snow fence
systems, skeleton steps and mounting bracket for solar module are installed on
the profile sheets without penetration.
Wide range of materials, colours and surfaces
RIB-ROOF profile sheets are available in a wide variety of materials and colours.
You will find more information on the materials and colours in the summary on
the inside of the cover. All RIB-ROOF system components comply with class III
corrosion resistance in accordance with DIN 18807.

Minimum roof pitch in accordance with the general building inspection
licence Germany:
Compliance with the following minimum pitches is necessary when using profiled
boards as water carrying outer shell for roofs:
Minimum pitch of 1.5 (2.6%) for roofs without transverse joints.
The required minimum pitch increases in roofs with transverse joints and or gaps
(e.g. domelights) to 2.9 (5%).
The required increase in the minimum pitch for gaps in roofs e.g. for domelights
may be waived if the following requirements are met:
Fully welded roof curbs are used.
The roof curbs are welded with the top shell of the roof to attain maximum density.
The certificate of suitability in accordance with the guidelines for welding supporting
components made of aluminium October 1986 version from the German Institute
for Constructional Engineering has been obtained for welding profiled boards or
welding to the profiled boards with an extended area of application for components
under 1.5mm thick.
The minimum pitch requirement is waived (at local level only) for the ridge area
if the roof elements in the area with pitches 2.9 (5%) are continuously (Note:
for rounded roofs) arranged above the ridge.

Constructional physics Supporting structures
Constructional physics
It is not intended to deal with the installation of supporting or substructures for
the RIB-ROOF profile sheets in detail, suffice it to say:
the guidelines for the installation of metal roofs, external wall coverings and
plumbing works by the ZVSHK (Central Association for Sanitation, Heating, Air
Conditioning) and the relevant DIN norms make a distinction between the so-called
single shelled roof structures with an insulating layer (also called warm roof) or
without an insulating layer and the double-shelled roof structures with rear
ventilation air circulation (also called cold roof).
Rear ventilated metal roofs have an air space with vents for the air to flow in
and out on the eaves and ridge as a rule in order to be able draw off the
humidity that condensates on the cold metal back and is present in the air space.
A correct calculation depends on the structure and must be taken into consideration
during the planning and construction stages. Roof structures that do not adequately
facilitate natural air circulation must be equipped with mechanical ventilation. It
is well known that a number of factors may have an adverse effect on how
ventilation functions in a double-shelled roof structure. A single-shelled structure
with a vapour barrier (Sd value 100m) without any levels of ventilation is
consequently recommended for buildings that are in the planning stage for economic
reasons.
Insulated, unventilated roof structures require the vapour barrier to be attached
to the adjacent and rising components as well as roof penetrations so that it is
windproof and vapour proof.
Distance profiles moulded from sheet steel act as a thermal bridge and reduce
insulation of the building. There is an increased risk of formation of water produced
on thawing and resultant damage to the primary structure through corrosion. A
distance structure made of squared timber is thus recommended.
The results of calculations made by the Forschungsinstitut fr Wrmeschutz e.V.,
clearly show the adverse effect of metallic distance structures. The With regard to
the U value calculation (formerly k value) of the entire roof structure, the effect
of the retaining structure must be observed in order to obtain the thermal insulation
licence in accordance with the energy saving regulations.

GENERAL REMARKS
CONSTRUCTIONAL PHYSICS
SUPPORTING STRUCTURES
An important requirement for
function, quality and efficiency
of a building is compliance with
the basic rules of constructional
physics. These are specified in
the German industrial norms
(DIN) for example:
4102 Behaviour in fire of
building materials and com-
ponents,
4108 Thermal insulation
climate induced damp proofing
in building construction and
4109 Sound insulation in
building construction
and must be complied with in
individual cases.
In certain circumstances the guidelines of the ZVSHK (Central Association for
Sanitation, Heating, and Air Conditioning) recommend the installation of thermal
insulation with a protective sheet with open vapour diffusion on the thermal
insulation to protect it from humidity and secondary water produced on thawing
which may form temporarily on the back of the metal during unfavourable weather
conditions. The need for precise fixing to the adjacent and rising components is
underlined.
There is no need to use these open diffusion protective sheets when the underlying
mineral thermal insulation is compressed by approx. 20mm.
There is additional information on this subject in Chapter 4.5 for against open
diffusion protective sheets or compressed thermal insulation.
The components made of various metals depicted in the table possible assembly
of metals must not come into direct contact when these metals show varying
degrees of tension potential and the metal with the higher tension potential lies
above the flow direction of the rainwater which acts as an electrolyte.
When the RIB-ROOF profile sheets are
assembled with other building materials
or components the following must be
observed to prevent contact corrosion.
Metals with a coating of paint, copper
and stainless steel do not require any
special measures.
Aluminium zinc and bare aluminium
must be protected from stress caused
by alkalis from mortar or concrete by
installing dividing layers and by
aggressive wood preservative or an
impregnating agent.

The use of titanium zinc requires special attention.
Contact of titanium zinc with other building materials is dealt with at length in the
specialised literature (titanium zinc in civil engineering, published by Zinkberatung,
Dsseldorf). Based on our many years of experience we would like to make a
comment which is largely supported by the titanium manufactures. The effects of
the atmosphere cause titanium zinc to form a natural protective layer on its surface.
This layer is known as a patina. This is not possible in the required degree on the
underside of the roof with full surface support of the titanium zinc sheets since
there is not sufficient air movement in this area. The secondary water formed by
thawing on the back of the metal and the resultant permanent humidity lead to
the familiar titanium zinc damage.
For construction with titanium zinc and pitches 15 it is thus recommended that
the underside of the profile sheets be protected with a lacquer coating or distance
structures be installed at the adjacent constructional level.

TRANSPORT AND
STORAGE OF MATERIAL
Transport of material Storage
Transport Unloading
The profile sheets are transported by lorry
without a crane. Access to the destination
must be ensured. For extra long lengths
(from approx. 33m upwards) production
is possible at the building site with mobile
roll-forming equipment.
The material must be checked for
completeness and damage immediately
upon delivery.
The consignments are marked with:
delivering works profile designation
licence number.
Complaints must be entered on the dispatch documents and our factory notified
without delay.
The consignments of profile sheets (weight of consignment max. 1.5t) must be
unloaded with suitable lifting gear (crane or high-lift truck). Please ensure that the
crane or high-lift truck is made available in time once you have arranged the
delivery date with our works.
Delivery to the building site is generally made without providing a crane or
high-lift truck.
A crane traverse (suspension
bracket) including fixed crane hook
without harness, deadweight
980kg, plus payload max. 1500kg
will be supplied if required.
Unloading using crane and crane traverse
(suspension bracket). Harnesses minimum
width of 10cm protect the profile sheets from
mechanical stress and damage.
When cranes are deployed unloading must be done with harnesses. The edges of
the profile sheets must be protected from mechanical damage. RIB-ROOF 465 with
sheet lengths of approx. 12m for aluminium, copper and titanium zinc and approx.
18m for steel require the deployment of traverses. Projections of more than 4.50m
for aluminium and steel, or more than 2.0m for copper and titanium zinc must be
avoided. If the sheet lengths for RIB-ROOF Speed 500 are more than approx. 10m,
they should be unloaded with a traverse.
Putting down and storage on the roof requires taking the load-bearing capacity of
the substructure into consideration. The profile sheets must be secured to prevent
them slipping and sliding down.
Storage
If the profile sheets are not going to be installed immediately, they must be
adequately protected from weather factors. They must be stored in the direction
of the profile to allow rainwater and secondary water produced by thawing to
run off. If they are covered with tarpaulins, the latter must be windproof and
be adequately ventilated. Liability is not accepted for damage caused by
improper storage.

Material handling
Dividing and cutting
Dividing and cutting the RIB-ROOF elements is done with suitable nibbling tools,
sheet metal shears, compass saw or hand circular saw with a carbide cutting blade.
The nibbling attachments for RIB-ROOF may be purchased from our range of
accessories. The use of cutting-off wheels must be avoided; the resultant shower
of sparks damages the surface of the material and may lead to corrosion damage.
Corrosion resistant materials (sheet steel
with aluminium zinc alloy or coil coated
and coated with paint) do not require
subsequent treatment of the cut edges.
Drilling chips and sliced particles must be
removed from the surface immediately
as they can also cause damage to the
material.
The different properties of the materials
must be taken into consideration when
shaping flat sheets from RIB-ROOF basic
material. The table on the left shows the
minimum bending radii of the metals.
Markings must not be made with sharp objects; we recommend using soft pencils. Table of minimum bending radii

Maintenance tip
The agents used to clean the metal surfaces should not be aggressive but
biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
Rinsing in cold water is generally necessary. Correction of damage to the paintwork
must be done with particular care. Paints for our standard range of shades are
available on request but may differ slightly in hue. The manufacturer must be
consulted before damage to the zinc layers is treated. Minimal differences in the
painted and natural surfaces may result from the use of different batches, but are
not deemed to be a defect.
Joining technique welding soldering
The different properties of the materials must be taken into consideration when
joining metals (also see Chapter 1.3.1).
The paint from coated aluminium strips must be removed before they are welded
or soldered. Once the work is completed the bare surface must be repainted with
the appropriate paint system.
The technique for the joining methods is described in detail in the instructions for
use supplied by the manufacturers of the materials, e.g. Alcan aluminium, Hoesch
sheet steel, VM zinc titanium zinc and KM-Europametall copper.
Bonding
As the leaflet Bonding in plumbing technique by the ZVSHK (Central Association
Sanitation Heating Air Conditioning) in 53757 St. Augustin states, bonding of metal
materials is also a possible alternative in plumbing technique. Single-component
polyurethane bonding agents are normally used in plumbing technique.

RIB-ROOF SPEED 500
As an advancement on RIB-ROOF 465 and RIB-ROOF 500, Speed 500 combines the
benefits of both metal roof systems: large distances between clips, self-supporting,
accessible profiled sheets, ultimate in easy, quick installation
The lock seam profiles are produced to meet individual structural requirements in
the desired sheet lengths so that roof areas of all sizes from 1.5 pitch upwards
may be laid without a transverse joint. Speed 500 is installed without penetration
and with its own system sliding clips. It may be laid either on purlins or on full-
surface supports such as safe thermal insulation or shuttering for all standard types
of roof construction.
RIB-ROOF Speed 500 saves valuable installation time the profile sheets are simply
pushed into the clips and swivelled. On a full-surface support 6 clips are laid
simultaneously with a clip at exactly the same distance apart. Moreover, there is no
need to perform time consuming beading of the profile sheets at the building site.
Wide variety of shapes
RIB-ROOF Speed 500 is available in straight, conical, curved or conical curved profile
sheets (see Chapter 2.4). Conical profile sheets may be finished with a minimum
overall width of 230mm and a maximum standard overall width of 500mm. In
addition to the standard overall width of 500mm, other overall widths, e.g.
333mm, 400mm or up to 600mm are produced on request (see Chapter 2.4.1).
Profile sheet lengths over 33m are profiled on mobile roll-forming equipment
directly at the building site. Curved profile sheets RIB-ROOF Speed 500: Curved
(arched) profiled sheets are finished by forced arching at the building site or
mechanical arching (by the works or at the building site) available from June 2005
onwards. Installation and radii see Chapter 2.4.2.
As a complete metal roof system RIB-ROOF Speed 500 offers a suitable solution
for every need. The complete range of accessories with useful articles that make

Place the first row of clips
Align the clips along the side of the verge flashing and fasten them with the
approved rivets or screws to the substructure. Additional pre-assembly is not
required. The distances between the clips depend on building-specific data and
wind loads (see Chapter 2.4). Please note: only use countersunk heads for clip
fastening with screws.
Insert first profile sheet
Push the small rib of the ridge profile sheet into the clips. Then swivel the profile
sheet down onto the substructure. Each profile sheet will subsequently be secured
with an anchor point to prevent it from sliding down. To bent the bottom chord
upwards at the ridge and to bent it downwards at the eaves a bending tool is
used. This can be done either in the factory or on-site.
For pitches <15 and sheet lengths up to approx. 21m and normal snow loads the
small rib of each individual sheet in the ridge is fixed with the clip shoulder by a
blind rivet ( 4.8mm x 12mm length). For special structures with sheet lengths
above approx. 33m and high snow loads please ask Zambelli.
Allowance must be made for longitudinal expansion of the elements from the
anchor point to the ridge when finishing the ridge cap.

Place the next row of clips
The position of the next row of clips depends on the overall width of the profile
sheets. This does away with the need for pre-assembly and alignment of the
clips with a plumb line. Insert the sliding clips with a single hand movement into
the large rib. Then swivel, click into place in the rib and fasten to the substructure.
Insert next profile sheet
Push the next profile sheet with its small rib under the clip and the large rib of
the first profile sheet. Then swivel downwards and click into the clip. Time
consuming beading of the profile sheets is not required. Speed 500 is reinforced
in the eaves area by joining the bottom flanges to an eaves angle. (Chapter 5.5)

Installation on full-surface support with clip border
RIB-ROOF Speed 500 may alternatively be installed on full-surface supports. A
variation in addition to the roof boarding is the high compressive strength mineral
wool with high density top layer which improves the resistance to site work
(application type DAA-dm according to DIN V 4108-10: thermal insulation).
Installation of the profile sheet may either be done on distance profiles which
correspond to the thickness of the thermal insulation or on the clip border structure
profiled or flat, which is fastened directly onto the support structure.
It is vital to avoid gaps when laying the insulating boards. This finish is also
transferable to RIB-ROOF 465 if so-called pressure distribution profiles are used.

2.3
Installation with clip border on
high compressive mineral wool
The thermal insulation
must be milled out if
profiled clip borders
are used.
Areas of application of the clip border finish flat or profiled RIB-ROOF Speed 500:
You always use the flat clip border on full surface supports, e.g. shuttering or
non-slip thermal insulation when the fastening screws can be placed in the
erected clip and then in the subsequent webbed area of the profiled sheet and
the screw heads thus disappear into the hollow space of the web.
You use the profiled clip border on full surface supports such as non-slip thermal
insulation when the clip border must (also) be fastened between the clips and
the screw heads must disappear into the lateral cavity of the clip border. For
optimal laying, the safe thermal insulation is milled out at the building site to
the exact fit of the geometry of the profiled clip border with a mobile milling
device. Should you place an order, the milling device which resembles a law
mower will be supplied by us. If the profiled clip borders are needed on a length
of more than 30 m, the clip borders have to be installed not one behind the
other but moved a little bit or interrupted by a turned clip so that the expansion
is guaranteed.
Possible subsequent opening of the RIB-ROOF Speed 500 profile sheets
(e.g. for subsequent installation of roof penetrations) is done with the wedge made
of toughened plastic.

RIB-ROOF 465
RIB-ROOF 465, is the proven metal roof system for over 30 years with large clip
distances, self-supporting and accessible profile sheets, quick, easy installation.
The customised lock seam profiles are produced in the desired sheet lengths so
that all sizes of roof areas from 1.5 pitch upwards may be laid without a transverse
joint.
RIB-ROOF 465 is installed without penetrations with its own system sliding clips.
For all standard types of roof construction it may either be laid on purlins or full
surface supports with safe thermal installation or shuttering.
RIB-ROOF 465 saves valuable installation time the clips are simply swivelled into
the profile sheets without any pre-assembly. Moreover, no time consuming beading
of the profile sheets at the building site is necessary.
Wide variety of shapes
RIB-ROOF 465 is available in straight or curved profile sheets (see
Chapter 3.3): Profile sheet lengths over 33m are profiled on mobile roll-forming
equipment directly on the building site.
If the inside micrometer for narrow radii and long profiled sheets is so large that
transport of extra longer widths becomes impossible, the profile sheets must be
cambered at the building site.
As a complete metal roof system, RIB-ROOF 465 offers a suitable solution for every
requirement. The full range of accessories with useful articles that make the work
easier and save valuable time is shown on the next page.

Place the first row of clips
Align the clips (start or standard clips) along the side of the verge flashing and
fasten them with the approved connecting elements (Chapter 1.3.2). Additional
pre-assembly of the sliding clips is not required. The distances between the sliding
clips depend on building-specific data (spans, clip distances for enclosed hall-type
buildings see Chapter 3.4). Allowance must generally be made for increased wind
loads in the edge and corner areas.
Insert first profile sheet
The first profile sheet with its large rib is swivelled into the overlapping start clip
and is clamped into the medium-sized rib on the clip. Alternatively, using the
standard clip press the large rib with the overlapping area together and clamp the
profile sheet with the large and medium-sized rib onto the clip from above (clicks
audibly into place). Secure the profile sheet with clamps, which overlap the external
rib, on the substructure (not necessary is the start clip is used).
Place the next row of clips
The position of the next row of clips depends on the overall width of the elements.
To ensure that the profile sheets are laid parallel to and flush with the building,
we recommend using a plumb line on the eaves and making regular checks of the
construction width.

Use an anchor point for each profile sheet to prevent it from slipping down. For
pitches <15 and sheet lengths up to approx. 21m and normal snow loads, the
small rib on each sheet in the ridge area is fixed to the clip shoulder with a blind
rivet (illustration on page 35).
The rivet head is covered over by the large rib on the next profile sheet. For larger
sheet lengths, place the anchor point on the ridge with sufficient distance to the
ridge in order to allow greater expansion of the material. Allow for longitudinal
expansion of the profile sheets from the anchor point to the ridge, also when
finishing the ridge cap. Please contact Zambelli about constructing anchor points
for sheet lengths over 33m. For pitches > 15, higher snow loads and profile sheets
over 33m please contact Zambelli.
Now fasten the next row of clips from an angle of > 90 to the fastening level to
the rear edging of the bare small rib of the profile sheet from above and swivel
the profile sheet down onto the substructure. Click the clips into place in the
longitudinal bead of the rib and fasten them onto the substructure.
Insert next profile sheet
Click the large and medium-sized rib of the second profile sheet onto the first
profile sheet and the exposed part of the clip. Using the zipper method, proceed
from the eaves point to the ridge. Clicking into place is normally done by well-
aimed accessibility (aid: wood border with milled groove).
The moulded longitudinal beads ensure that the longitudinal joints are rainproof
once they have been clicked into place. Mechanical joining or manual processing
is not required.

ZVSHK leaflet Ventilated and unventilated metal roofs manufactured from industrial
pre-fabricated lock seam profiles
With the metal roof system RIB-ROOF you generally have the possibility of constructing
both the variation with the open diffusion protective sheet and the variation with
compressed thermal insulation. As you will gather from the ZVSHK leaflet Ventilated
and unventilated metal roofs manufactured from industrial pre-fabricated connecting
end profiles, the ZVSHK (Central Association for Sanitation, Heating, Air Conditioning
recommends both types of construction. In individual cases, you can weigh the
pros and contras of the two types and discuss them with the developers and
architects. For economic reasons, the design with compressed thermal insulation
has also proved its worth during recent years in addition to the open diffusion
protective sheet which has been tried and tested for over two decades.
Pro contra open diffusion protective sheet
Run off of water produced on thawing to the eaves on the protective sheet, also
during back pressure due to extreme ice snow conditions in the eaves
makes heavy demands on the layer to prevent potential water pocket formation
Costs
Pro contra compressed thermal insulation
less air space so formation of condensation minimised
Improved noise protection
Back pressure in the eaves possible during extreme ice snow conditions with
potential humidification of the thermal insulation (solution is a protective sheet
with a width of approx. 3m parallel to the eaves, or installation of additional rows
of snow fences in accordance with Practical Guide Chapter 5.9.)

Your RIB-ROOF regional sales manager will be pleased to answer individual queries
to assist you in choosing the protective sheet with open diffusion or the compressed
thermal insulation.
Brief summary of the additional benefits of the RIB-ROOF metal roof system
relating to the above topics:
RIB-ROOF metal roof system now gives you the practical choice of installing the
open diffusion protective sheet on the mineral wool since with RIB-ROOF the clips
are fastened from above through the protective sheet into the substructure and
the protective sheet does not have to be penetrated below the clips already installed
by tearing the foil.
For non-insulated roofs (with vapour barrier Sd value >100m) you will obtain
the best U values with a distance structure (which is convenient for
installation purposes), from lateral and counter lathing at a distance of
1.19m in the normal area and intervening mineral wool insulation. The very
good U values attainable with in contrast to metallic distance structures have
been documented in the scientific research conducted by the FIW Forschungs-
institut fr Wrmeschutz e.V. Mnchen, (enclosed in your architect file).
Metallic distance structures with Z profiles or with system sliding clips require
corresponding reinforcement of the thermal insulation (costs) in order to attain the
same U value.
Saving of energy costs with a wooden lathing
According to the examination report of the FIW of 11 April 2005 you can save
about 1,300 per year and 1,000m
2
roof surface if you use a wooden distance
construction and not a metallic Z-profile. You can save energy costs of about
540 per year for the same surface against the metallic brackets which are
going through the termal insulation.

LAYING TECHNIQUE
3. The RIB-ROOF lock seam profile is more diffusion open than mechanically beaded
systems or conventional angled or double standing seam covers. The following
median values are given as Sd values in the corresponding study Determination
of Water Vapour Permeability by the FIW Research Institute, registered society
in Munich for RIB-ROOF Speed 500, median Sd value of 12.8m, for aluminium
0.70mm; for RIB-ROOF 465 median Sd value of 25.7m, for aluminium 0.90mm
(as a comparison: mechanically beaded system median Sd value of 30.6m, for
aluminium 0.90mm). Moreover, with RIB-ROOF the seam cavities and the open
diffusion roof edge son the ridge, eaves and verge flashing facilitate an additional
exchange of air and an additional diffusion effect as a result.
Laying technique
Important basic rules for installation
Installation must be halted during extreme weather conditions and individual profile
sheets must be fastened or secured immediately. Since RIB-ROOF does not require
beading, it may also be installed during low outdoor temperatures.
Please see the tables in Chapter 2.5 and 3.4 for accessibility of profile sheets during
installation (maximum span of accessibility determined by installation).
Inform other workmen before they access the roof that load distributing elements
must be laid in the accessible areas in order to prevent deformations or damage
to the sheets.
Joining the profile sheets to rising components necessitates bevelling the bottom
flange prior to installation (available from the works), see Chapter ridge area 5.1.

TERRACED GRADIENT
Terraced gradient
Terraced gradients are used in architecture as a decorative element or for extreme
profile sheet lengths. The detailed construction of the single pitch roof ridge to
the rising wall basically applies here. The terraced gradient must be protected
from penetration by driving rain through installation of an eaves row.
4.3
Transverse joint
Profile sheet transverse joints are not required as a rule since longitudinal
expansion of the material is taken up by the fastening elements (clip). For
extra long lengths that are not to be transported by lorry (>33m), the sheets
may be profiled at the building site (see Chapter 1.4.1 Transport).
If transverse joints are still required, welded finishes with aluminium profile sheets
are chosen as far as possible. In exceptional cases and only for pitches >7,
transverse joints with tight rivets and sealing material are finished (in accordance
with the following illustrations); their use requires great precision.

Sealing the longitudinal joint
For pitches <1,5 and differences in measurements or uneven spots in the substructure
(danger of water pocket formation), the insertion of sealing strips (e.g. Isochemie
brand) is recommended as an additional measure. This finish is also recommend
for rounded roof structures in the area of the vertex continuously until the angle
of inclination of 1,5 is reached.
Detail structures
Detail structuring of the ridge, verge flashing and eaves must always have a
standard design in the interests of the architecture (possible installation of
samples by arrangement with the customer). We have made some suggestions
below as examples of detail structuring.

Important: Before attaching the ridge cap or ridge side connection sheet to the
rising components, the anchor points for the profile sheets must be inspected.
5.1
DETAIL STRUCTURES
RIDGE AREA
The large rib on the profile sheets is cut off for RIB-ROOF 465
at its exposed seam end at a 45 angle.
After installing the elements, the water carrying bottom chord must be bended
with the bevelling tool or pliers (illustration above), to prevent penetration of
rainwater and snowdrift. This step must be carried out when rising components
(e.g. walls, row of windows) are connected and before laying in any event.
Alternatively, the bending upwards of the bottom chord at the ridge can also be
carried out in the factory.
The opposite expansion of the profile sheet and ridge cap require immediate
fastening using indented sheets. These are aligned on both sides (saddleback ridge)
or on one side (single pitch roof, wall or connection to the row of windows) with
a line or distance gauge and fastened onto the structural ribs with blind rivets or
self-drilling screws.
The large rib on the profile sheet
is cut off at its open seam end at
an angle of 45 (for RIB-ROOF 465).

Saddleback ridge
The saddleback ridge without ventilation (for single-shelled roof structure, warm
roof) is inserted with its double face back edging (bend with approx .10mm radius)
in the indented sheets and pressed together with the seam. The cross connection
is manually seamed or attached to the expansion devices with blind rivets.
Profile fillers are installed as required. The structure and distance of expansion
devices must be taken into consideration in any event.

Verge flashing area
The edge profile sheet ends in three possible variants:
With the large rib ( upper flange) the edge sheet is covered by the profile
inserted in the verge flashing and fastened to the upper flange with blind rivets
(distance approx. 50mm). It must be connected at a distance of approx. 75mm
from the sliding clips to facilitate longitudinal expansion of the profile sheet.
Important: the distance of the projecting insert profile to the upper flange must
be adequately measured in order to prevent penetration of rainwater through
capillary motion
With the small rib ( upper flange) the edge sheet is fastened with the end clips
to the substructure, further installation must be carried out as described above.
Manual finish:
The bottom flange of the edge sheet is bevelled at a 90 angle and re-edged with
a water seam. The verge flashing trim is then spliced in the edge sheet.

Eaves area
There are a wide variety of gutter solutions that are used in different countries and
regions. It is not intended to present a detailed description of them here.
The gutter which is inserted externally is the simplest eaves construction. The classic
gutter in semi-circular or box form is fastened to the eaves plank with the gutter
hooks. The requirements for the installation technique in accordance with DIN 18339
plumbing have been outlined. For ventilated roof structures, construction of an
air inlet opening (at least 4cm clear opening) below the eaves is recommended.
Installation of profile fillers in the eaves area is only required in exceptional cases.
The eaves plate ( gutter inlet sheet) is the connection of the roof to the gutter
and should be measured on a scale of 333mm.

Box type gutter
Box type gutters must be regarded as special structures.
We recommend carefully following the safety measures for construction as
described below:
Dimensioning of the gutter and the downpipe (if necessary emergency overflow)
must be done either in accordance with DIN 18460 or DIN 1986-100 to facilitate
professional installation and cleaning. The number of outlets (at least two) must
be based on the calculation and be doubled.
Longitudinal expansions must be ensured with the appropriate number of expansion
devices.
The inlets must be funnel shaped and connected to the supporting and water
carrying gutter. If foliage guards are used, the draining capacity of the inlets must
be calculated and reduced by 50% in accordance with DIN 1986-100.
Thermally insulated roof structures require adaptation of the construction of the
gutter (use of safe insulation).
The minimum distance between the supporting and water carrying gutter should
be at least 20mm.
Construct a gutter gradient of at least 5mm m.
The gutter must be kept as clear of snow as possible through a snow fence system
and thermostat controlled gutter heating.
Conclude a service contract with the customer
In addition, the professional guidelines for the plumbing trade, publisher,
publisher Central Association Sanitation Heating Air Conditioning, St. Augustin,
must be observed.

Flutes
Flutes structure is dependent on the length and gradient. The latter is generally
smaller than the adjacent pitch.
Flutes should be constructed with a greater depth for roof structures with a pitch
<7. This detail structure must be taken into consideration at the planning stage.
The general rules for the box type gutter also basically apply here.
Since the flutes must accommodate the longitudinal expansions of the continuous
profile sheets, the connections must be constructed in accordance with the above
illustration or the illustration on pages 62 and 63.
The cross connection for pitches < 7 are done with a doubled cross seam and
sealing insert or by soldering (titanium zinc and copper) or welding. (aluminium).
A double cross seam is sufficient for pitches > 7.

ROOF PENETRATIONS
Roof penetrations
Roof penetrations and their curbs are constructed manually according to the material
or welded soldered watertight. They require great care and expertise in plumbing
technique.
As the leaflet Bonding in plumbing technique by the ZVSHK (Zentralverband
Sanitr Heizung Klima) in 53757 St. Augustin states, bonding of metal materials
is also a potential alternative in plumbing technique. Single-component polyurethane
bonding agents are normally used in plumbing technique.
Water drainage and longitudinal expansions of the profile sheets in the penetration
area must be ensured by taking the appropriate steps. The height of the curbs
depends on the pitch, but is generally not less than 15cm.
Round roof penetrations
Round roof structures are sealed with pre-fabricated conical connection pieces (tight
rivets and silicon sealing, Soft or hard soldering, welding, bonding).
Top sealing is done with a collar which projects over the connection pieces.
The substructure must be temporarily protected with suitable materials (protective
sheets) when a connection is hard soldered or welded due to the fire hazard (wood)
and damage.

The sheets of ice that frequently occur when and after the snow thaws are prevented
from slipping below the snow fence pipes (external diameter 32mm) by the
installation of ice shields (photo p. 79 or illustration on pages 82 and 83). We
recommend the aluminium finish (for TECU profile sheets copper snow fence and
ice shields are available) since the use of corrosion resistant materials can lead to
unsightly rust formation on the cut edges of the pipes.
The screws (at least M8x40mm) should be made of rust-resistant material. The
prescribed starting torque for the screws is 15Nm.
The quantity and distances of the snow fence pipes (see following table) depend
on the pitch and local weight of snow.
The thrust produced by the snow lying on the roof may be distributed among
several rows of snow fences. Double snow fence pipes are no longer used.
