PLANUM

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information about Planum ceramic roof solutions by La Escandella, focusing on the H-Selection line. This line utilizes advanced manufacturing processes to enhance the functional and aesthetic qualities of the roof tiles.

Key Features:

H-Cassette Manufacturing: Allows individual firing of tiles, ensuring excellent flatness and high definition with no contact points.
Durability: Offers a lifetime warranty, demonstrating confidence in the product's quality and longevity.
Low Absorption: The tiles have a water absorption rate of less than 5%, providing higher resistance to ice and mildew.
Cost Efficiency: Large format tiles reduce installation costs due to fewer units per square meter and efficient packaging.
Double Interlocking System: Ensures watertightness with horizontal and vertical interlocking.

Technical Specifications:

Dimensions: 441mm x 278mm x 32mm with a weight of 3.5 kg per piece.
Flexural Strength: Exceeds 1200N, complying with EN 538 standards.
Water Impermeability: Complies with EN 539-1 level 1.
Frost Resistance: Complies with EN 539-2 for 150 cycles.

Installation Guidelines:

Laying Method: Tiles should be laid using a broken bond method, ensuring proper overlap and alignment.
Ridge and Hip Installation: Ridge tiles should be installed facing away from prevailing winds, with proper underlayment to ensure water tightness.
Valley Installation: Valleys require clear pathways for water drainage and proper flashing to prevent leaks.

Design and Finishes:

Color Variety: Offers a range of finishes including Grey Klinker, Galaxy Klinker, and Rustic Red Klinker, among others.
Galaxy Finish: Features a metallic color with a diamond effect that varies with sun exposure.

Technical Advantages:

Lower Absorption: Enhances frost resistance and reduces mildew formation.
Interlocking System: Provides large drainage ribs for improved watertightness.
Nail Hole and Hook Attachment: Facilitates easy installation and reduces tile breakage.

Ventilation and Slope Recommendations:

Ventilation: Essential for maintaining roof integrity and energy efficiency. Proper airflow should be ensured through eave and ridge areas.
Slope Recommendations: Minimum pitch standards must be followed, with additional underlayment required in certain conditions to prevent water migration and ice damming.

Accessories: A variety of non-ceramic accessories are available to complement the roof tiles, including waterproofing membranes, ventilation components, and fixing elements.

Specifications:
- Ventilation tiles (Q86*K) are required for every 7 m² (1.32 vent tiles per 100 sq ft.) with a minimum of 2 per roof surface, installed on the upper part of the roof.
- Proper ventilation prevents moisture-related issues such as peeling and cracking.
- Roof tiles must be securely fastened using nails, screws, or clips.
- Fixation frequency depends on roof exposure and building height, with at least one in five tiles fixed horizontally.
- In high wind areas, all tiles must be fixed.

Components:
1. Roof tile
2. Micro-ventilation void
3. Ventilation roof tile
4. Rafter
5. Heat insulation underlayment
6. Waterproof underlayment material
7. Frame
8. Eaves ventilation comb / bird stop
9. Attic

Fixation Guidelines:
- The roof slope determines tile fixation level to prevent sliding or lifting.
- Fixation is necessary at eaves, side courses, ridge lines, valleys, and vertical wall encounters.
- Fixation level varies with roof pitch.

Colour and Product Variations:
- Colour harmonization is expected, but natural shade variations enhance beauty.
- Blending of tiles is recommended regardless of colour variations.
- Colours in the catalogue may not accurately reflect actual tile colours.
- La Escandella reserves the right to change product dimensions, fittings, weight, and units per pallet without notice.

Additional Information:
- For more details, contact a Sales Representative or Customer Service.
- This catalogue, printed in May 2023, supersedes previous versions.

The Galaxy finished is a metallic color that can have a diamond effect, like a brightness variation of each tile according to the sun exposure. TIP - Colour variations within one batch, affecting the whole of that batch and produced specifically for aesthetic reasons, are permissible. - For tiles of one single colour, variations in color due to the ceramic process itself are accepted. - We advise not to mix tiles from different batches on the same roof section. - We recommend not to stack more than 2 pallets.

LAID METHOD Planum roof tile can be laid on a continuous frame, which has to be completely flat in order to ensure the right laying of tiles and their fixing components (to avoid water-leaking); or on a discontinuous frame or battens (CAM068, CAM042, CAM043, CAM044), which will be fixed by building a batten counter batten deck or by fixing them directly to the frame. The laying of Planum roof tile is carried out by broken bond (also re-ferred as cross bond) as follows: 1. The starter course will begin with the Planum right side course (Rake trim - Q88*K) from the eave to the ridge (Q02*K, Q90*K,...

TIP Widthwise or lengthwise laid suggested in the technical catalogues are theoretical. The roofer must calculate the real widthwise or lengthwise laid of the tiles to be installed according to the methods defined in the rules in force in our installation manual. Tiles are manufactured with natural components and fired at high temperature which generates small dimensional variations.
