FalZinc Single-leaf, non-ventilated structure (Warm roofconstruction) The single-leaf, non-ventilated roof structure requires
greater care during the sealing of the vapour controllayer to avoid warm air condensing in the roof system.FalZinc The classical double standing seam provides
weathertight joints and is the preferred option for thecomplex shapes of modern
architecture. Ideal for roofslopes >5°this jointing method of adjacent sheets can
be carried out both by hand or machine. Slopes at >3°are possible with the introduction of a sealing strip andwith system installation by competent craftsmen.Theresulting finish characterises the overall aestheticappeal. The optimised properties of FalZinc The angular standing seam is the preferred lock-seam
technology for distinctive facade
home claddings, and parapets,with the broad surface of the seams, increasing theoptical effect of the sheet division. The angular standing
seam is only folded once; an additional sealing of theseam is not possible. For
cover coverings the angularstanding seam, therefore requires a roof pitch of morethan 25°, and in areas of heavy snow and in valleys, thisshould increase to at least 35°, to ensure against water
ingress. Due to the outstanding formability of FalZinc >
