Klitzfalz roofing: material specifics and installation features

Klitzfalz is a modern type of roof, which is a type of folded roof, but with improved installation characteristics. It is widely used due to ease of installation, reliability and aesthetic appeal.

Specificity of the material

Klitzfalz roofing is made of metal sheets or rolls, which have special connections in the form of locks, which allow you to fasten the elements easily and quickly without additional folding. For making letters are used:

1. steel with a polymer coating (zinc, aluminum-zinc), the most common material due to availability and durability;
2. aluminum, light, corrosion-resistant, suitable for buildings in difficult climatic conditions;
3. copper, an expensive but very durable material that is covered with a patina film over time, protecting the roof;
4. zinc-titanium, an elite material that provides aesthetics and a long service life.

Polymer coatings protect the metal from corrosion and provide the desired color and texture. Usually, the thickness of steel sheets varies from 0,5 to 0,7 mm, which provides sufficient strength.

Installation features

Klitzfold is distinguished by the fact that the connection of metal sheets is carried out using a special locking mechanism (click connection), which is easily closed without the need to use special tools, as is done with traditional folding.

The main stages of installation:

1. base preparation. For laying the roof click fold it is important to have an even foundation. Flooring, OSB, plywood or boards are used;
2. laying a waterproofing membrane or vapor barrier that protects the roof from moisture and condensation;
3. fixing the sheets to the base with the help of special staples, which hide the fasteners under the coating itself. This ensures tightness and protection from weather conditions. The sheets are superimposed on each other with the help of a click connection, which ensures a tight and reliable connection of the elements without the use of additional tools.

Final stages - processing of complex nodes (skates, eaves, abutments), installation of the drainage system.
