Technical characteristics

Supports

The system is characterised by a fixing that allows free expansion on non-visible supports. The supports are available in five versions:

  • automatic supports
  • standard supports
  • ribbed supports
  • insulated parapet support ‘Console system’
  • insulated parapet support ‘Thermal plate’

The different supports allow you to adapt the system to any given design and are even compatible with the combined installation of a Barrial roof edge protection system.

Copings

Three patterns of copings are available:

  • symmetrical
  • asymmetrical
  • with required pitch (up to 25°)

Two designs of copings are available:

  • rounded edges

These add a more attractive touch; make the coping easy to clip on and provide better drainage for rainwater.

  •  square edges

To compliment, joint cover strips provide a perfect finish at junctions. A combination of the various elements of the system allows it to be adapted to all circumstances.
