FAQ
-
How is the DP40 roof tile installed?
The Taborsky DP40 roof tile is installed on a timber substructure.
The profile sheets are laid from the eaves to the ridge and fastened with self-drilling roof screws. The correct substructure spacing is important here!
Important installation principles:- Screwing on the corrugation crest
- Fastening in the plane of the lower stamping
- approx. 6–7 screws per m² of roof area
- Matching ridge, verge, and eaves components ensure a professional roof covering
Detailed instructions are provided in the official installation manual.
-
In what dimensions can the Taborsky DP40 roof tile be ordered?
The length of the Taborsky DP40 roof tile is manufactured according to the parts list. This means that lengths are made to measure between 550 mm and 6,100 mm. The cover width of the roof tiles is fixed and amounts to 1,000 mm.
If the roof is longer, the roof tile profiles must be joined transversely.
-
Is snow protection available for roof tile profiles like the DP40?
Yes. Snow protection accessories are available for the Taborsky DP40 roof tile.
Matching snow protection elements are part of the accessories and can be installed on the roof tile profile in a system-compliant manner. -
What is the advantage of the Taborsky DP40 roof tile over conventional clay or concrete roof tiles?
The Taborsky DP40 roof tile combines the appearance of classic roof tiles with the advantages of an industrially manufactured roof system:
- very low weight per unit area (approx. 0.048 kN/m²)
- high dimensional stability of the surface
- lengths up to 6,100 mm (project-specific)
- longitudinal overlaps with an additional water trap
- economical overall costs for roofing and installation
Particularly when renovating existing roofs, the low weight compared to concrete roof tiles is a decisive structural advantage.
-
What is the difference between a conventional roof tile and the Taborsky roof tile profile DP40?
Conventional roof tiles are mostly made of clay or concrete and are laid as individual roofing tiles. The Taborsky roof tile DP40 is a sheet metal roof tile profile, which is manufactured in long profile sheets.
This results in significant differences:- significantly lower weight than concrete or clay roof tiles
- large-format sheets instead of individual roof tiles
- uniform appearance over the entire roof
- less installation effort and shorter construction time
The DP40 is therefore a modern alternative to classic roof tiles and interlocking tiles for pitched roofs.
-
What is the minimum roof pitch required for roof tile profiles?
A minimum roof pitch of 10 degrees is required for the Taborsky DP40 roof tile.
This minimum pitch ensures that rainwater drains off reliably and that a permanently secure roof covering is guaranteed.
Metal roof tile profiles – the high-performance alternative to roof tiles
Steel roof tile profiles are a modern and durable solution for roofing a wide variety of roofs. They combine the classic look of roof pans and roof tiles with the technical advantages of an industrially manufactured roof system. As an alternative to concrete roof tiles, flat roof tiles, clay roof tiles, or interlocking tiles, roof tile profiles offer an economical, lightweight, and visually appealing solution for the roof.
Alternative to classic roof tiles & roofing stones
More and more builders are consciously deciding against conventional roof tiles, interlocking tiles, heavy concrete roof stones, clay roof tiles, or other types of roof tiles. Metal roof tiles impress with:
- lower weight compared to clay or concrete
- reduced costs for substructure and installation
- uniform roof covering without individual tiles
- continuous roof membrane from ridge to eaves
- modern yet traditional roof appearance
- high resistance to hail compared to seamed roofs or aluminum roof tiles/panels
Particularly when renovating older roofs, the low dead weight is a decisive advantage.
Typical areas of application for roof tile profiles
-
Residential houses
Ideal for single and multi-family homes with pitched or pent roofs. Taborsky roof tile profiles are suitable for both new construction and renovations. - Outbuildings, garages & carports
Perfect for smaller roofs where a uniform appearance and easy installation are required. - Agricultural buildings
Halls, stables, and farm buildings benefit from durable, low-maintenance roof tile profiles with high resistance.
Advantages of metal roof tile profiles
A roof with roof tile profiles offers numerous technical and economic advantages:
- low weight – protects the roof structure
- long profile sheets – fewer joints, clean roof covering
- simple installation – even on large roof areas
- uniform roof appearance without color differences
- large selection of roof tile colors
- durable coated surfaces
- coordinated accessories and roof system
Compared to classic roof tiles, installation time and long-term costs decrease significantly.
