Roof plate

Roofing panels (UDP) are water-impermeable, permeable wood fibre or fibre cement boards and are laid freely spanning over the rafters or on dimensionally stable insulation. They are usually an additional measure for rain safety.

More about sub-roof panels

Sub-roof panels are used to seal the exterior or wind of a building. The design takes place as groove or seam and butt formation. A sub-roof slab forms a second water-bearing level under the roof covering. It protects the roof structure from moisture from the outside. It is used either only during the construction phase as a preliminary or temporary cover during the period of outdoor weathering or as a measure for the entire duration of use.

In insulated constructions, a sub-roof panel serves as protection above the insulation. At the same time, it also takes on the function of a wind seal.

The following materials are used:

  • Wood fibreboards, porous
  • Medium density wood fibreboard (MDF)
  • Wood hardboard (HB)
  • Fibre cement boards
Planning notes
In the

case of grooved boards, further sealing of the joints can be dispensed with.
