Assignment of additional measures for the Ergoldsbacher Karat®*

According to the Central Association of German Roofers’ pamphlet on sub-roofs, sub-coverings and under-bracings, and the basic regulations of the Roofers’ Guild, regular roof pitch 16°, minimum roof pitch 7°, generally recognised in professional circles as state of the art, scientifically proven and tried and tested in practice for decades, according to the state of technology.
Country-specific building standards and/or regulations must be adhered to, if no other contractual agreements have been made.

Increased demands due to
Use: of the attic level, especially for residential purposes (residential use equals two increased demands)
Construction: special roof shapes (e.g. butterfly roof), long spar lengths (longer than 10 meters), heavily structured roof shapes (e.g. due to valleys, gables, etc.)
Climate situation: exposed locations, extreme locations, areas with a lot of snow, special weather situations, areas with a lot of wind
Technical installations: On-roof or in-roof systems, air-conditioning systems, antenna systems, roof access systems, rooflight/skylight
systems, snow guard systems, etc.

Classification
Class 1: Waterproof sub-roof (1.1.)
Class 2: Rainproof sub-roof (1.2.)
Class 3: Seam and perforation secured under-bracing (2.1.) Seam and perforation secured sub-covering (3.1.)
Class 4: Welded or glued sub-covering (2.2.) Coated under-bracing made of strips of bitumen (2.3.) Seam-secured sub-covering (3.2.)
Class 5: Overlapped / tongue in groove sub-covering (2.4.)

* The additional measures listed in the table are minimum measures under consideration of Table 1 in the pamphlet on sub-roofs, sub-coverings and under-bracings. Sub-covering panels are to be assigned according to the classification in the pamphlet on sub-roofs, sub-coverings and under-bracings. Increased demands make up categories according to chapter 1.1.3. Further increased demands can arise out of the weighting within a category according to 1.1.3. For example, climate situations can result in several increased demands. Only permitted if the manufacturer provides proof of the functionality and safety of the products used, including accessories (sealing tapes, sticky tapes, sealing compounds, pre-assembled seam securing, etc.), as part of a deluge test and 24-hour rain test on a roof pitch of 15°. Otherwise, the next class up is to be selected. Any limitations noted by the manufacturer are to be taken into account. See the product data information sheet for instructions regarding protection against perforation. These can be used for classes 3 to 6.

2005: Karat® LED-First

Stands for good design: timeless and modern for almost 50 years.

After almost 50 years, it’s safe to say that the Ergoldsbacher Karat® is a design classic, as it is still as up-to-date as ever. It is a perfect complement to modern architecture, and its techology is unique. With a standard roof pitch of 16° (min. roof pitch 7°), it is ideally suited to flatter roofs owing to its sophisticated technical design, which also makes the tile particularly raintight: Triple interlocking head joint, double interlocking side joint and a 4-tile corner with protected male lock.

Quantity required per m²: aprox. 15.0 Pieces

Minimum roof pitch: 7 °

Regular roof pitch: 16 °
